Knifeman54,
Glad to see that you are asking for opinions. Good move!
The CA size models are very small. Do you live in CA and want to go with these for legal reasons? If you just want to start small then go with the Vero Beach Mini UDT (around $150) or White Wolf Pocket Pro (around $130-140 depending on blade type.) Both are superb but not CA legal. They are slightly larger.
The GT CAL Special is extremely small. Id say pass on it.
If you want a CA legal check out the ProTech Runt $110 or JCS (around $125 I think, never handled this one).
Personally, if I was in your situation I would wait for the MicroTech M-UDT to arrive in the near future. It should be perfect- mid sized and hopefully right in your price range of $200. But, keep on looking.
Big Dave
