This is a good thing if you do more house work than automotive work. The multitool has a plenty of house things you can use it for versus the ratchet which for non automotive use I've only used once... for a ping pong table.
I will forwarn while i like the m12 multitool, it is one of the weakest multitools you can buy. Good for sanding wood and cutting drywall. But fairly weak at cutting anything and vibrates in your hand like no other.

The upgrade to fuel driver and drill is amazing
I use the multi tool and really like it

the $300 set is more powerful since it's 18v, it also has a circular saw. the milwaukee are much nicer tools though.

The m12 system is good for most tasks. I always grab the m12 impact driver, drill, ratchet, or light first. It's more compact, lighter, and have enough power for 95% of tasks.
I also like the Ryobi 18v system because of how many different types of tool at great prices. I grab the 18v hammer drill when I need a little bit more power for concrete or using a hole saw. I love the wide variety of Ryobi tools like yard tools, circular saw, reciprocating saw, angle grinder, floor fans etc. You can't beat Ryobi's value or selection of tools.
So I'd recommend getting the Ryobi kit if you only want to commit to one system due to the variety of tools that's available. If you are okay with using two systems, I prefer Milwaukee's m12 system for driver, drill, and hacks-all over Ryobi's.
EDIT: I'd like ot add that I actually much prefer 12v impact drivers vs 18v ones. The extra power of the 18v makes it harder to control and use. In addition, I like the brushed version of the m12 impact driver as opposed to the brushless version for the same reason.

However, if you already have 18v or 20v power tools and are buying an extra 12v set to use as a daily driver because of the light weight and small size, these non-brushless m12 tools are fine, and should last many years with moderate use.
