I want a SOG SAT knife. So, do I buy a Blink now for the cheap price of $29.99 on ebay, or wait for the Twitch to come out, or buy both?

i own a Blink. it's a great small knife, very elegant cut and design(doesn't look like an assisted-opener at all), and with a killer edge. the downside? i find the overall rectangular shape of the handle to be kinda silly. maybe this is to uphold the "moneyclip" option. still a terrific knife with a slim profile. the blade is very thic for it's size (much more so than my Leek), and seems to be built for the long-haul. mine was also picked up for 29.99...
on the other hand, i'm am completely enamored with the Twitch knives, the Twitch II, in particular. it looks gorgeous, and seems poised to replace the Leek as my EDC. i won't know for sure until i can get my filthy mitts on it, but Blink-stylings in a 2.7" blade = i'm a happy camper! i'm mildy confused as to why they didn't go with a 3" blade, but.. whatever. i also must question the mixture of the index-finger trigger and lockback functions which seem to contradict one another when it comes to one-handed opening/closing. something so hopelessly simple to open becomes a bit of a chore to close (one-handed anyway: i invariably end up closing the Blink against my hip or thigh, keeping my fingers out of the blade-path -- anyone know of a classier or safer one-handed close method?).
in any event, just do the right thing: get both. then the only decision you'll have to make is, which one will you wear today??
