I own the CF version, it's a neat knife, not a very good value, but I am happy with it. For a smiler sized knife of comparable materials and build quality I think $40-60 is a more reasonable range, but I am satisfied with mine and I plan On keeping it.

"Worth it" is relative and kind of a personal thing.
It does seem a little pricey for the size. But if you like it, and you want an interesting well made small knife, it's probably not a bad choice.
The reviews here and on Spyderco's site have been quite favorable from those who have one.
I picked up a Bi-fold for ~$90, and I'd be hard pressed to defend it being worth that to anyone, but I don't really regret it.
I'd probably prefer the Balance in CF, but I'm a sucker for CF.
I haven't handled the Balance, and I've got pretty big hands, so not sure how well it would "fit" me.

Only you can answer that. I think the price is hard to justify for the size, but you can rest assured that if Spyderco could sell it for less, they would. It's a very unique design and if you really like it, you'll be hard pressed to find something similar.
