I have both. I love both. My blue and grey para just edge out the superleaf because I'm a wannabe steelhead.

I am torn on this topic. Although these two do have similar dimensions, the "feel" of each of them couldn't be more different. The compression lock makes the action equally smooth for both blades. The Para 2 feels (to me) like a much more precise slicer with its narrow blade tip but the Superleaf and its blade mass (4mm) feel more suited to heavier chores. I agree with Chuck, if (or when) we see the Superleaf in a sprint run with maybe Cruwear or ZDP or Super Blue, then this blade will become something truly astounding to use & carry.
