So I'm looking hard at one of these bad boys and I just wanted to gather some opinions before I pull the trigger. Thanks in advance! Pics encouraged!
 
I love mine. I really like ZDP and I find the Stretch very ergonomic. It is a great piece and one of my favorites. It costs a lot more than the frn version but for me it was worth it. I'll try to post pics later, I am still recovering from photobucketgeddon.
 
Love it! Probably my favourite folder at the moment. Very comfortable in hand. Love ZDP-189, it has great edge retention. I like the slimmer profile of the handle on the G-10 version as well. And that brown G-10..... call me crazy, but I love it! Overall, it's simply a great blade IMO. If you pick one up, be sure to let us know how you like it!

Like BFK, I am also recovering from "photobucketgeddon", so no pics for the time being.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I think the Stretch 2 is at the top of my production want list from Spyderco. I held a Stretch 2 G10 at a local knife shop a few days ago and really loved the ergos. They had it on sale in the ~$160 range. I was really tempted, but I'm trying to pick up a Baby Jess Horn and a 204p Military first I think. I saw an FRN Stretch 2 ZDP going for ~$85 the other day on eBay in excellent condition. I felt really silly for not picking that one up. It will be hard for me to make a decision between the two when that day comes...

Thank you all for the responses. Unfortunately, the S2 will have to wait a little while longer. As I was browsing some of our favorite knife sites, I stumbled upon one I had long forgotten about and was unable to resist. So in just a few days time I will be the proud owner of a Caly 3.5 Carbon Fiber ZDP-189/420J2.
 
Hey man! Just got mine a week ago. It's awesome! Instantly one of my favorite spydies ever (this is my first Stretch). I'm in Cedar Park now if you ever want to check it out... :D:thumbsup:
 
LMO the stretch has a very functional blade shape and I think it can compete favourably with the endura but I prefer FRN over G10 on Spyderco's back locks
The ZDP+FRN version would be my pick but that is only personal preferences
You shall not be disappointed by the G10 version
 
i have the older VG10/FRN version i had gotten before they changed the FRN molds,its a grate game knife for ripping apart rabbits dear ECT. but i'll carry my caly 3 around town as a EDC,but i remember sal saying he made the stretch as a game folder!thats what i mostly used it for and find the caly 3 is almost same thing but little bit smaller package size.
