Leatherman MUT or SuperTool, or....?

[Kershaws]

If you knew someone in the military and had a choice between giving them a LM MUT or a LM SuperTool, what would be your choice? (Feedback from anyone who owns either is greatly appreciated.) I'm looking for a multi-tool for a Combat Engineer, so the multitool has to be EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) specific, which includes a C4 Punch, wire tools, maybe M4/AR15/M16 tools.

Here are my views so far:
Leatherman MUT EOD:

Pros: Tools are easily accessible (Glove Friendly), lighter, includes weapon tools, it has a hammer cool
Cons: Has a tendency to pinch the hands, a little delicate, EXPENSIVE, nearly 60+ dollars more than SuperTool

Leatherman SuperTool 300 EOD:

Pros: More rugged, not as flimsy, better grip
Cons: You have to open the multi-tool in order to access the tools (A no-no for time dependent emergency breaches), heavier, blade shape does not seem as good as the one on the MUT.

I've heard there are other EOD specific multi-tools made by other manufacturers, if you have any other suggestions please feel free to suggest

MUT EOD would be my choice. One hand opening saw and knife blade. EOD specific tools, and has a few handy tools for the M16 family of weapons.

Either would be an excellent choice, but I think the MUT has the Supertool beat in the same way the Wave has the PST beat.

For that application, the MUT. While I pack a Supertool most days at work, but MUT is anything but delicate. It weighs as much if not more than the ST. The only thing that I really don't like about it is that it can be a little easy to lose the bits.

That said, having the availability to customize my bit loadout on board the tool is awesome. I keep the standard flat/philips on one long side, an allen that fits the full length guide rod on my 1911 on the other and a short star bit that fits the grip panels for the 1911 on top. Nice little tool for when i go to the range. Makes messing with my Ar and my 1911 a breeze.

I really like my MUT, but for KISS at work as a contractor I usually grab the ST as I always have a OHO knife with me as well.
