The two knives are vastly different in size. I had a 705 but gave it to the pop-in-law. I don't recall too much of the knife sticking out of the pocket though. I think that the Speedtech is more noticable clipped to the pocket with that wide funky lookin' shiny clip and all. Personally - size difference aside - I'd choose the Speedtech. In fact I did! I still have my blue Synergy with sort of a subdued mirror finish. More than a satin, not quite a mirror. Great knife. Here's a scan:

Think about this... You *know* that you'll spend at least $250 on knives over the next few months. Better to spend it on what you really want than a few of what you don't want as much. That's not to say that the 705 isn't nice - it is. But I've found out the hard way that it's cheaper to get what you want in the first place.

Shawn,
I was drooling in anticipation for months waiting for the 705 to come out in plain edge and to be my new daily carry knife but although it is a superb knife I dont find it caiires that well because of the nice pointy end that sticks into our waist if you carry iwb.
It however goes superbly in the little pocket inside the right hand pocket of a pair of my Hagar chinos, my Calypso Jrn is too wide to go in this pocket well.

The 705 rides best at the bottom of my pocket in work clothes, clipped well with no exceeding protrusion in the right pocket when wearing jeans, and perfectly inside a regular Leatherman sheath when camping.
As far as being clipped inside the pocket, the 710 nor the 705 have ever been anything short of wonderful. Sure, there's a little more meat sticking out, but it assists me on the draw. The Benchmade 705 is in my worthless opinion the finest production pocket knife in terms of versatility and resistance to long-term wear that's ever been born. Professor.
