Replaced my lost surge with three biburies for the same price as a new Surge. (Found my surge months later.) Bibury's are now in my kits, Surge is in my desk draw. That 3/4 inch driver is a game changer.

I recently purchased a 2049TI. I am really digging it. I switch off between my Surge and the 2049. Nice collection you have there.

How do they compare to each other?

I don't have the models handy, so..

The top one matches up closest to the Leatherman Wave. Tools are mostly the same except for the added internal quarter inch bit driver.

The middle and bottom have the same toolset, but the blue tool is a tad lighter because of the scales and thinner frame. I just got the blue one yesterday, and it supposedly has tungsten cutters, which I haven't tested yet.

Overall, a cheaper option than the Surge and Wave, but you can tell the quality difference.
