Verdict
Buy if it saves 2 g over the other; it carries 2 more tools than the other, and it works out at $4.28 per tool.
Nothing in the measured fields separates it from the other. Pick on feel, or on a tool the other has and it does not.
Verdicts are built from the measured fields only. They are conditional by design: which tool wins depends on what you are carrying it for.
