I saw and handled a full size Presidio II today at a local knife dealer. Seemed pretty damned nice to me. For some reason, i thought it had plastic scales (when looking at pics online). When i handled it, it felt very sturdy, weighty, and overbuilt (which i consider a good thing). I was very impressed with it. I decided to get one of those next time though. They had a BM "fact" in stock and it had such a glassy action to it, I couldn't resist getting it instead. The Presidio II had a very smooth action also though. I might break down and go grab it sooner than later honestly.

Benchmade any idea when the auto mini will be available?
