After using someone else's I would go with the AFO 2 in your flavor of blade, serrations and satin or black coating. It's a beast.

I would look at the AFO II or Auto Stryker. I haven't been real happy with the Auto Axis mechanism (I have a 5500 and a buddy has the 5000. Both seem to get sluggish quickly).

I have the same Benchmade 14700 as yours. Mine is practicaly like new because I never use it. I actually prefer my plain Griptillian over it because I am left handed and find it very difficult and clumsy to operate the 14700 with my left hand.
Unfortunately, I recently lost my Griptilian and once again I am searching for a replacement. Does Benchmade offer an Auto with ambi controls? Or does any other manufacturer for that matter? |

What do you mean when you say they become sluggish? I presume that you mean dirt and grime slow down the physical speed of the auto mechanism? Or do you just mean they are clumsy to open? |

Slowed down/stopped due to dirt. Mine was ok after blowing with compressed air and lubing but a buddy has had to send his back twice, I believe they replaced springs and cleaned. While that can happen with any they seemed to be less tolerant than others I've used. |

I can see where they are much more open on the backside of the knife compared to the 14700 that I have. Thus allowing dirt and debris to enter easier. |
