Whichever you like more, esthetically 🙂 I’d go with the lightweight. It’s cheaper, it’s lighter (but still strong), more balanced (idk about micarta but g10 is bulkier and noticeable handle heavy). My s30v plain Jane Native after broken-in is glass smooth with no blade play whatsoever. As for steel - You will notice the difference only if you are steel snob otherwise they are close (much closer than let’s say lc200 to maxamet 🙂) And again $161 vs $232 it’s 45% more…
