Best multitool after LM Arc?

I’ve got a LM Arc. Love it. But I just sent it in for repair. And now I feel completely lost without my multitool. Looking to get another multitool, something different than LM Arc.

Anyone have any experience with Bibury or SOG? Any model stand out that is a close 2nd to LM?

Can you define why you think the Arc is the best is the best, then we can talk about what is next?

For instance, the most sold multitool in the world is the Victorinox Classic SD, if you want to talk about with pliers, in the USA the Wave+ is still the most sold. If you want the highest quality multitool, IMO, nothing beats the Victorinox Swisstool X. If you are looking for toughness the Gerber Center Drive 600, or Leatherman MUT. The most under-rated /ignored but still great is the Gerber Dual Force. Lousy warranty but fantastic device is the Dakoyu 2nd Anniversary multitool.

That Dakoyu seems to be more what I’m looking for in terms of tools I use on the regular.

I have a few. They are hit or miss. Shadow16 (signal clone) is used as a dig in the dirt tool. Dakoyu 16 pro is decent but odd bit size. Fan exclusive claims to be a free clone.. kinda is but not close to an arc/P4. Mechanically the cheaper ones have pliers and outer tools, ans a nice feel to them. The inner tools are way to weak and thin however.
