I think the lightweight series are the best value. I'm pretty partial to the native 5 but also like the manix LW. I've been meaning to try the stretch but haven't found a used one at a price I'm willing to pay that sticks around long enough.
With some of the G10 models moving to LW, I could see a millie LW being pretty sweet but's it's already pretty light already. I could be pretty content in the modern folder department with just my millie and natives. The native salt with some different colors would be nice, but I've already died mine so I wouldn't buy another anyway.
I liked my sage 2 and 3 but ended up selling them. I miss the 3 but the 2 had some big issues with my hand and the lock so I don't miss that one at all. I've been meaning to get the sage 1 as I do like the simplicity of liner locks over frame and compression locks.
