I have owned a 200 and really liked it. I just thought it was kinda heavy. Do you think I would like the 550 better? Where I order my knives they have both in stock.
 
Considering its almost 2 oz lighter yes you will like it.....and the ZT 0550 series are amazing.... I have 3 now ZT0550, ZT0550BLK and ZT0551 .....enough said!
 
Get the 200. I'm trying to buy all the 550s right now. Lol JK. Kinda.

Seriously, I recommend getting a 0550BLK or at the very least the older version of the 0550 so you can try it out at an outstanding price. Unless you insist on low-rider clip new version and even then, it is so worth it.
 
I've had a 350, 200, 550, and 560, and for some reason the 550 is the only one that stuck. It is thick, but light, and the blade length is just right for my EDC needs. Other than the ugly stock scale, it is one of my favorite knives. Definitely recommend the 550.
 
Had the 200 and I knew pretty quick it was going up for sale. It's a solid built tank of a knife with very good F&F but it just wasn't EDC for me. I now have the 0550 and I'm REALLY liking it. I'm holding off reviewing until I put it through some work. I did a review on the 0200 HERE

The 0550 is lighter. It is a more conventional rather than heavy use design IMO. I have the 0551 and 0200.
 
Just got a 550 today. Talk about a horse of a knife. I thought the 200 was built strong. This knife is perfect. Kinda hard to open, but I am getting the hang of it. Do you have to push the stud forward to open the blade? Can you get different color handles? I say this knife wont get sold!
 
There are many aftermarket scale options.... Hinderer, Kryptoglow, The Preacher etc etc
 
I have a ZT0200 at home. I don't carry it a lot but it's an amazingly strong knife. I just ordered a ZT0550 today for an amazing price from one of my favorite retailers. Can't wait to give the 550 a try.
 
I just got the 0550 old clip style and love the way it sets in pocket. Alot shorter than my 560,200,and 500!
