In reply to Littlewolf:
Okay but my spacebar was broken so I didn't feel like typing more. Mostly I use the pliers on these things and the screwdrivers. So how wide the pliers open is extremely important but it's hard to tell from the pictures. The blade would probably be next. I would also kind of like scissors since even though I don't need scissors that often I am almost never carrying a regular pair on me when I do. Unfortunately I can not seem to get scissors and fine and serrate blades. I can only get a partially serrated blade, which I don't think I can sharpen myself. Except in the case of the Radius which has only the fine blade. The problem is: might I need some serration? And also I'm concerned about the rubber handles on the Radius wearing quickly. Also, it doesn't look as cool as the others.

Oh and I had been thinking of the Gerbers as being a better version of the leatherman. My boss has one and I like the feel of it. I don't know why but in theater swiss army multis are not that popular. But other brands are why there is an other option as I am open to suggestion.
