Should I get the BT or WB?

I am going to get one of these knives. What is the difference between the two? They look very similar.

I tried searching but could not run a search due to the fact the the board software doesn't allow two letter searches.

Zach,

The WB seems to be more "fight" oriented. With it's narrower blade probably has better penetration power and precision.

I have used both very extensively. I prefer the WB as a real good do anything well blade. It is an awesome penetrator. I carried a BT for years in my patrol bag. It is a wider blade, and better for prying. If I had to have one it would be the WB.
 
I just saw one of the new BT's over at TAD yesterday. Gotta say that the new grind is sweet! There is more material left up by the tip. It's still flat ground but because they start the grind lower down on the blade it almost looks hollow from a distance.

That said, I would take the WB for all around use, that's what I have. But that BT was cool...

Here's a pic from TAD:

Good luck in your search,

Geez. I have too little money and way too many choices. I can't find the WB so I may have to buy the BT and then get the WB later. Does that sound like a good plan? :D

What do you all think of the GS? I know I like the looks of it and think it needs a home with my other knives.

Sorry for all the traffic but I love my MT-L and can't wait for the AR. I have started to sell some of my Spydercos to purchase Striders (Sorry Sal :p).
