Precisely. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Which is why buying LEs has always been a bit of a head scratcher for me (except when other compelling factors exist such as the difference in blade grinds between the DFCG and the DFLE.)

PS: For those who would use their knives and argue that LEs create less blade drag than CGs, I'd suggest they buy CGs anyway. Then take them out and beat the coat off of them. They'll end up with the same net result . . . a blade that looks well used. But buying the CG and beating the coat off of it is a lot cheaper than buying the LE. It's also a helluva lot of fun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
