I have a Swisslite with the red LED, and it's next to useless.Is there a Rambler with a light?Would love to see the light before I pick one up but they not to expensive.Is the light model heavy thicker?

No big loss, IMO. If you don't want the pen, I think you're also better off with a separate light, even if it's just a fauxton. I'll see if i can get a beam shot of the red LED, if you'd like
And the way my keys are set up, it does not really allow being able to add a small SAK.
Try saying that for any other SAK
The Compact does miss some driver capability, hence my new love the Skelly is working out.
Harley, the corkscrew is a reminder to enjoy life, wine is for living and chicks dig it.

I recently replaced a rally with a classic and I find myself using the scissors more than the mini phillips. However, the Rally is never too far away and came in handy when I upgraded my MacBook recently. Ok, so go with the rambler...it has it all. Shoot, I guess I have to get one now too...
@HarleyXJGuy. All you have to do is swap scales. Grab a used Rambler Manager M. Manager whatever and just swap around the scales. You can find used SAKs all over EBAY. If you like the idea of the LED then get one with the white LED (red ones suck) then swap out the pen with a standard scale. Easy and you get exactly what you want.

but the nail file on the 58s knocks spots off that on the hook.
I have a dark and horrible thought that my work EDC could be striped down to a Manager and an LM Mini

Are you saying the light is in the scales? Or? Yes. The light is built into the scale of the 58mm line. The victorinox logo is the activation button. I've considered doing a scale swap, since they don't do one T&T slot and the light on any tool but the swisslight. I find a toothpick really useful, and the pen really... not. swapping a single scale would solve this problem, but would also require buying two tools. And for that cost, I'd rather just carry a 50 cent fauxton flashlight, and keep the scale with tweezers in it.I hope this pic illustrates it clearly.(Image removed from quote.)
So the lite scale is just a little thicker?
Just stick with my way more better Olight I3.
It's about twice as thick as the standard scale. I don't know if you consider that 'just a little thicker'.
And that's about how I feel about it too. The light is a neat idea, and maybe useful when all else fails, but I think a dedicated light is a better way to go personally. That means... like I said... get a Rambler.
Here you go.
Looked through my 58's....a bunch of Classics, a 3M logo Bijou SD and these:Signature II, Signature Lite and a Rambler.
