There´s a review of the Gerber here:

I handled the SOG for a while at a local shop some time ago and didn´t like it much, it is gadgety but seems less practical than other more standard multitools, it´s nice to be able to open one handed but I can do that with any other multitool I´ve had, also the regular SOGs (and others) feel much stronger.

I traded into the SOG auto plier, and i'm not at all impressed.
For one, it's not very tough. Secondly, they should have designed the blades and tools to come out the handle on the other side. It's a pain to get the blade out without hitting it on the opposite handle section.
