I splurged on a Gingher about a year ago (love their scissors) but I don't care for the seam ripper (all right, I hate it!).
It's heavy, the blade is thick, the "point" isn't pointed enough and although I'm right handed I would like to be able to use it the other way up, but with the contoured handle there's no choice!
Sorry, Gingher - but keep the scissors coming!
