I was hoping for that, too. I'm looking to get one or the other, and don't know yet which one. I've swung the venom like an ice tool, and it felt nice, but I've never actully held a cosmi'tec in my hand. They weigh more or less the same (the cosmi'tec is a hair lighter) and the venom has a rubber grip and a replaceable pick. I'm probably going to get the Petzl because I prefer no grip when plunging the shaft in hard snow.
