The Cryo is a Hinderer style as are the 0550 and 0560. Now I see the 0566 with Hinderer styling and about a 3.25" blade, and watching vids from SHOT show I see the Cryo II with about the same size blade. I'm curious how they compare feature-wise.

From brief glimpses it seems that both are steel framelocks, the 0566 having a G10 scale on one side. Of course there will be a difference in blade steel. The other difference in configuration seems to be that the Cryo II will be slightly hollow ground and the 0566 will be a partial flat grind.
 
The 0566 is made in the US, has ELMAX blade steel, and textured G10 non-locking side scale.
 
USA! That's what sold me more than anything on the 566. I almost wish that I had held off on buying my zt0550 after I found out about the 566, almost.
