I guess that's why they have both chocolate and vanilla. I see no cable cutter, no chain breaker and no bottom bracket removal tool as significant omissions. I'm also not overly impressed by a fancy box that won't have a space for the tools that I'm going to have to add.` Also, having never seen the kit you're talking about, I can't comment on the quality but I have doubts.
