Okay, I really just have a hard time deciding on which I should get next.. What are your thoughts? Digicam para 2? Manix 2 lightweight, or regular version? Or the domino? Price really doesn't matter to me at this point, I'm just wondering what the overall general populous would recommend. Thanks blade forums!

Had the chance to handle a lot at the Spyderco factory,, what a blast.
The one that really stuck with me, was the regular g-10 manix.... super ergonomic and SILKY smooth action.
Although Im more partial to the leaf-shaped blades
 
My only complaint of the Manix was weight. The sprints have skeletonized liners so one of them would be my vote
 
Domino. Silky smooth opening with the flipper or thumb hole, great steel, Taichung goodness.

Or the PM2.

Or the Manix.
 
I have the Domino and Manix. Love them both. One or the other finds their way into my pocket any given day. I haven't bought a PM2 yet, which I know is neary evil here. I love my Domino for how silky and smooth the action is, especially the flipper with the bearnigs. I'd say if you choose between those two, pick the lock you like better. Frame locks (RIL) aren't for everyone, but the ball-bearing lock isn't either. If you can, get the chance to handle one or the other, or both.
 
I'm not a fan of framelocks and I don't care about flippers, so my advice is hardly unbiased. That said...

Get a Para 2. You can't go wrong.
 
Well I would normally be detracted from frame locks but this one at least has a stainless insert so I wouldn't have to worry about the titanium getting marred up and creating lock rock..
 
I own all of them, and love them all. However, the Domino sees the most pocket time by far.
 
I should add, I really do NOT like flippers, at all. Sold both of my customized Southards recently. Sold a couple of ZT's, as well.

The access to the Domino Spydie hole is very good, I most often open the Domino just like I do all my other Spyderco knives. The limited thumb hole access on the Southards was my primary reason for selling 'em. (my experience)

It's kinda fun to flip once in a while, and the Domino being so smooth makes it currently my favourite knife.
