Comparison photos of a Trance and a Delica?

I'm planning on buying either a CLB Trance or a Subcom.

I have held a Subcom in my hand before (but I lost it :() so I know about that one, but I'd like to see a size comparison between a Trance and a Spyderco Delica.
I have a Delica since before, but if the Trance is significantly smaller than the Delica, I can imagine getting a Trance and EDC-ing it when I want to carry a smaller knife. If the size difference isn't so big, I think I'm better off with a new Subcom.

So if anyone has some pictures of a Trance alongside a Delica I'd love to see them.
 
IIRC, they're about the same length and width, with the Trance being ever so slightly thinner, but having the wider primary edge bevel. The Delica handle IS longer though.
Frankly, they're both great EDC's, but the Delica is probably the better workhorse.

The Boker CLB Hyper is a good choice if closed size (small) and blade length (large as possible) is important. 440C is also a decent steel, though still not QUITE as good for general tasks as VG-10 has been for me.
Respectively, they are Trance $20-30, Hyper $30-40, and Delica $40-50

I'll see if I can get a camera tonight and post pics (crappy ones) of a few similarly-priced folders.

Good morning Sweden,

The delica has a narrower & approx 8mm longer handle as the Trance. Trance Droppoint has approx 5mm extra edge compared to my delica D4W which has a custom flatgrind and no off factory sabre grind.
