My old style LM wave was stolen. I read a lot about the new LM wave and decided to buy the old style again. I finally got to hold the new style LM wave and now want one and will probably get one.
I like them both. For me it comes down to do you want the changeable bits or not. The small bit on the new wave seems too small for the size of the tool. I would carry the new wave and a micra but that is my preference. I would love to have the new blades and jaws on the old tool.
