BM51 vs Microtech Metalmark vs FlyTanium 51

I can't find the BM51 for $180 anywhere. If you have a link to it I'll snatch it up without thought to the other two. With that out of the way I'm looking for an EDC balisong that doubles as a flipper. I've seen 2 videos of the Metalmark being flipped and it appears to flip pretty well. The 51 has mixed reviews due to how light it is. Here enters the FlyTanium 51. Titanium scales bring the wait up to 4.7 oz (the version with no holes) making it .6 oz HEAVIER than the BM42. I believe that it also comes with the G10 scales so I can figure out which I like more for flipping and carry. From my research and my opinion shape will go to Metalmark but flipability will go to BM51 (FlyTanium). Any input?
