Either the Protech or the Ti Millie.

If the Ti Millie, consider a step up and get the Fluted version. The difference is amazing, on a new level.
I speak from history of making light-weight versions of Ti RIL frame-lock + G10 MIcarta Millies for my daily carry.
A Fluted Ti Milled is weight-wise right in between, and the radiused scales and grip-texture are superlative.
There is actually a fair amount of handle material removed in the profiling & fluting.

The Protech is also very nice, just a significantly different knife in my mind (should get both ;-)

Photo below: On middle knife, I also radiused the spine of the blade (really nice touch on a Millie I think).

This photo might help to show the radiused scales of the Fluted (in comparison to standard Ti Millie profile):

Very nice custom work you did I would like the fluted military but it's out of my budget I was just considering the regular titanium military but I think I'm going with the protech

If we're talking about the manual action TR4, I'd go with the Military. I adore Protechs, but the manual action models lose some of the magic I think and the Military is just a fantastically refined beast of a knife.
