The other's that I own are the ZT 0450, Linosteel TRE G10, and Kizer Gemini but my favorite is my Boker Mini Kwaiken in Ti.

I don't really care much for flippers.
That said you can't get a better blade to handle ratio then with a zt 0452
It's very light and slim .
Nice knife.
 
If you like a thin slicer, Boker Plus Exskelibur I Ti framelock front flipper is worth a try.

That looks nice, but a tad long (and unfortunately discontinued) for my EDC purposes. I should've specified, but where I am about 3.0" is the longest I can carry.

trying to keep it under $200, which pretty much excludes all customs I know...

In that price range with the 3" limitation its going to be a hard find. My first thought would be the ZT 0450 or 0450CF but those have a 3.25" blade. The Kershaw skyline is nice but again has a 3.1" blade.
 
For under $200 look into a used Reate, or if you can find one, a Carson Tech Lab "Boiling Flipper"; top notch action!
 
Under $200? ZT's, 0450 search the exchange. The best frame lock sub 3" blade I've ran across is the Inkosi but that's stretching your budget.

Of the four you mentioned two have blade lengths over 3 inches: ZT 0450 and Kizer Gemini.

I made a thread that may help: Small Flippers with 2.33-3.25 inch Blades
