I hear you on the price. I wish it were more like $75. I have to save a bit more for one. I am leaning toward the Pro. I simply like the looks better and I like the clip blade. But the C&C drop point is nice, too.
I say go with your gut. Don't try to talk yourself into something when something else is calling you.
If you get the clip blade, you can always save up for the other anyway and you'll probably say "Glad I got this, I knew I'd like it"!
If you get the drop point, you might say "I like it OK. This is a good knife. But I think I would have liked the clip blade better".
I like the drop point fine. I'm not sorry at all I got it. It works good and feels good in the hand - kinda almost places itself to where it can cut the best on it's own, if that makes any sense. And that's probably because of the weight difference from my "regular" 110's. Cuts no prob. It's got more than enough point to dig out a sliver. But then, a drop point fits itself to what I use a knife for just fine.
So, if you find yourself doing a lot of tasks that require "getting that point in there" to get the job started, and sometimes relying on that area to do the cutting, or if you sometimes pry on things more than you should, get the clip.
If you don't really require the design and "cut-ability"of the point on the clip blade. And can get by with the very good point on the drop, and want to try something different, get the drop point. It's a good one I think it won't disappoint (get it? sorry).
If you are really on the fence, get the knife from somebody that has a good "return for store credit" policy and cover your butt.
