Which one would you choose?

GRIPTILIAN!

I have the 550 PE OD and it's an incredible value. That makes me biased, but I love it.

And get the 550! Don't get the stud :barf: ;) . The oval hole is so much easier to grip onto, and studs are flat out uncomfortable. not to mention that the hole makes the blade lighter :D For accuracy, comfort, practicality, and IMHO looks, I say go for the oval.

This is pretty much what I've decided. I'll be talking to NGK next week.
 
The BM-550 of course! :) . Why? Simply because of my experience with the Benchmade Company and their knives.... I own more of the BM's than my wife would care to know about. They've re-sharpened my fu**** up attempts at bettering a factory edge, actually talked with me over the phone about my concerns dealing with ergonomics, sent me a promotional ball cap or two & still keep crankin' out exceptional knives... your choice, of course............... :D
