I don't normally carry knives this "big" but I love me some Super Blue and that blade shape always looked sick to me. Handle wise, the Delica and Sage is probably the max I would carry. Is there a huge difference in size between the two in the hand and whatnot? Numbers wise the Stretch's handle looks to only be about .25" bigger so it can't be that noticeable right? I'd like to give the Stretch a shot as my EDC because of that blade shape.
stretch is great for EDC it's in between a delica and endura in blade length. I personally love it. I don't carry my delica much and i've never gotten around to getting an endura. If my SB stretch hadn't come through i would have gone with the SB Endura but luckily i got the stretch. just wait til you actually hold the stretch it's a great knife. i used to shave with my ZDP until i purchased an actual straight razor. I just think it's a great knife. No need for rationalization. You want it get it thats rational isn't it?

Not just Super Blue knives in this thread but there are a bunch of Super Blue knives in it. Not much forcing necessary with SB. One granny smith apple will really kick it off! I didn't force mine at all but cut up a lot of apples.
If you look at the thumb ramp you can see that the spine develops a really cool three layer look when the center layer of SB patinas. This is my Delica. My Stretch will be here tomorrow!
Another angle.

Nice patina I hope my Delica gets its own identity also.
