I'll give up trying to remember which model is named what. The tiny one looks great with the mirror finish. I also have the larger model with black coating, and was about to order the large model with the brushed finish.
I wish I could get the large size with the mirror finish.
A note on the side, the texture of the black (looks gray really) looks good, but it tends to hang on to gunk (I have the same problem with a Benchmade Vex, which has the same type of black/gray finish). I would love to have this size knife with a mirror finish, with or without black coating.
I would polish the brushed version on my own, but I don't want to lose the BUCK print on the blade, and the thumb stud is permanently mounted which would make it difficult to do well.
