Dennis,

The Perrin has a lower profile than the Temperance, so is a little more concealable. Ergonomics on the handles of both are excellent and they both manipulate very well. There are a lot of subtleties in the Perrin's design that become apparant as soon as you pick it up. It's "Street Steel" all the way if set up for IWB, though it will handle utility just as well.
