Other than size is there any difference. I'm thinking the longer blade would be nice.
 
No other difference as far AFAIK...I'm pretty excited. The Cryo is a tad too small for my taste.
 
One thing to consider: Is the Cryo II simply a larger scale version of the Cryo I, or is it a new knife featuring the same design elements? This is important when you think of how your hand is going to feel wrapped around the knife. I think that a smaller knife should be built a certain way that conforms to your hand, and a larger knife will have to be built different to be the most comfortable.

Sal Glesser talks about what that concept means to Spyderco in this video around 27:50 - 28:45 when he talks about the Tenacious family of knives

It is merely expanded in two dimensions. I'm pretty sure that it is the same thickness.
 
I fondled the cryo II at blade today. Much more functional at that size than thee original. If you're looking at hinderer inspired knives though, the thermite is going to be a home run, if I had to bet on it.
