ZT 0301 or ZT 0561? Your preferences and why.

560 gets my vote. Looks better and feels better in my hand. Plus the 30X has a recurve which can be challenging to sharpen for some, myself included.
 
I have a ZT 560, and have handled several 30X's and like them, although the reason I haven't purchased one is because of the extremely tall/fat and large recurve (I personally don't find recurves as useful not to mention extra sharpening difficulty) if it had a slightly different blade shape I would probably buy it. I like the 560 because of the steel, smoothness (though mine took a couple days to break in, but after that, its extremely smooth), flipper, and overall design.

I like them both, but my 561 is the one hogging all the pocket time, this was this weekend working in the yard.

Thanks for all of the great input everyone. I had decided on the 0561 but did one last check for the lowest prices on google shopping and found the ZT0301 brand new in box on grabagun.com for just under $200. It said nothing about being a blem so I bought the last one they had in stock. Now I have to get another paycheck so I can purchase the 0561 too :)
