Sometimes it's a bit more complicated than that though..what if you don't know which one you like better?... I have the para 2 and have felt the griptillian (went with the mini grip)...both feel great. good ergonomics, solid construction...etc. You'll have a great knife no matter what you choose!
I love my para 2...but when I felt the grip and even the mini grip, it was the closest to ever kick my para 2 out of my pocket. The mini grip, even with the smaller size, feels like a big knife to me the way the handle is. The grip was even better feeling.
I did choose the para 2 first though because I liked how it looked more. But I knew I was gonna get both ;P

I say get which one you can right now (price, availability, local vs online, etc) and save up for the other!
No matter what you choose first, both are great knives.
 
The Griptilian has 0.640" thick "handle." The mini-Grip has 0.510" grips. The PM2's have 0.450" thick grips. So it's like this...

If your hands are:
Small: PM2
Medium: PM2
Large: PM2
X-Lge: PM2

There is NO comparison; only contrast, IMHO. Of course, I'm a Spydie fanboy, although I have some nice BM knives also.
Oh heck, if I hafta be somewhat reasonable...if your hands are quite large, get the Grip. And then sell it and buy the PM2 in a good blade-steel.

I absolutely love the looks of the Para-Military 2.
I hope to have it next! :)
But, i own the Griptilian. It's awesome.
Yeah. The one you like best wins.
If you like a 5 dollar knife from a gas station better, it still wins for you. Opinions are opinions. Go with YOUR gut.
Not ours. :)
 
I'd advise against purchasing a Para-2. My experience has been a very unpleasant one.

First off, as you may have heard multiple people say, the tip on the Para-2 is very thin. I've never broken the tip, but this somehow makes you purchase multiple versions of this knife as I now have 5 different PM2s in various colors and steels. This knife cannot survive alone, it needs companionship and that means you have to buy more and more Para-2s to keep it happy (also, this knife will force you to actually use it despite it's apparent lack of hood-stabbing abilities, so you'll have to invest in sharpening skills/equipment).

Also, the choil offends many people when you open the knife. Be cautious as this will sometimes cause people to go into convulsions (It's a heavy burden to bear, and I hope you can live with the consequences). Also, the mere mention of the compression lock will bring up the debate as to how it is obviously inferior to the Axis Lock and Tri-Ad lock. That sort of wears on your self-confidence after a while and forces you to join support groups where you put on tiny shorts and prove your knife's worth by filming yourself cutting hunks of meat with it and staring into the camera like a prisoner who just saw someone drop the soap. You don't want that, trust me...

Do yourself a favor my friend and run away... run away...

Hilarious. I will add to the thread, that I recently traded a knife away for 2 knifes. One of the two I got was a Para 2 even though I already have one. I have decided to see if I can get something else for it but I won't mind keeping if I don't get offered what I want. That has to count for something.

Love my Spydies, but their very thin (dare I say anorexic?) handles make me feel like they won't hold up and I don't like having to squeeze like I'm making a fist, but thats just my $0.02.
Both are nice, both come in good steels, both are high quality knives. Choose what you want.
