I hope BHC enjoys the Mini-Champ in time,and that you really enjoy the Alox Bantam.Many folks don't like the fact the Alox Bantam is so slim,that never bothered me.My only gripe about is the lack of a keyring attachment,otherwise it would've found a home on my keyring years ago.For quite awhile,and this is where the AB stands out,I kept one in my cell phone pouch in a compartment in the pouch.Many pouches have a similar compartment,especially the Nite-Ize.
Enjoy the SAKS!
