The Juice line was never the replacement for the wave, they are designed to get people who normally wouldn't carry anything bigger then a small SAK into the multi-tool world. I do like some of the juice line, they are a great alternative to SAKs, I have given a few of them as gifts to people who normally wouldn't carry a flashlight and have found them having a home in their pockets and purses. The new line that is replacing the classics is fine. The wave is pretty much the same, but with beef-ier jaws and locking tools, I don't see anything wrong there, the charges look fine to me, they have the size of the super tool 200 with the weight of the wave and have locking tools. Titanium is great, in this aplication it is better then steel. The Kick, Fuse, and Blast are the same as before, just with better handles and an easier hex adapter. If you really feel that bad you still have the crunch and Supertool 200, both great and will probibly stay the way they are for a while. From a guy who has every leatherman in the classic line except the mini-tool and PST II I think the new changes are good.
