Spydie Frame Lock: Which One?

[JNieporte]

I'm looking for a frame lock with a blade between 3" and 4" and have narrowed my choices to the Chokwe or the Sage II. The Leaf Storm is just a tad too small, and the Ti Military costs a bit too much for me; trying to keep it around $150.
What are your opinions regarding which I should get? I've never seen either in person. Anybody have both and can give opinions or photos?

Both are made by the same maker and are very well made, so from a quality standpoint, there's no wrong choice. That said, if I were right handed and choosing between them, I'd go for the Sage. To me it's the better looking and more ergonomic design, but I must admit a very strong prejudice against knives where one side is a different material than the other. You might also consider the Bradley Folder. Blade is too busy for my tastes, but from everything I've heard it's more of a frame lock with scales than a liner lock and built like the proverbial brick "library".
