Looking to get my first zt... What do I do?!?!

I would go for the 0562 over the 0566 due to the Ti vs SS frame lock. I know you said weight does not really matter much but there is a noticeable difference between the two with the slightly larger 562 being the lighter of the two and it is not assisted but flips just as fast with the KVT caged bearing system.

I have had both the cf and g-10 versions of the 562 and I would stay with the g-10 if cost is an issue, I like the look of the cf but it is a little slicker and about $60 more...the blade is 204p vs elmax but they are not much different in day to day usage (imho).

Agreed with the 562 over the 566. I bought the 566 because it was a bit smaller, but the use of heavy stainless instead of titanium was a HUGE mistake in my book. Sold it quickly.
