The sidekick is in a weird place, IMHO.
If you want tools, the Wave+ is much better. If you can find an older package of the Wave with the sheath and compare it to the current price of the Sidekick w add-on sheath, I think the Wave becomes a no brainer buy. It's not a big deal to carry if you have the sheath on your belt, but it sucks in the pocket.
If you intend to EDC carry, the Skeletool might be better. It has all the essential tools you're most likely to use, but lighter and pocketable. The CX flavor has better steel in the knife, too. Should be pretty easy to find at $70 / $90, respectively.

It's not without flaws. The blade doesn't hold an edge as well as I would like. And mine has been back to Leatherman once for warranty replacement of the saw blade. I snapped it while trying to cut a 2" tree root out of the ground.
But it's been used in countless projects. Wiring, building, repairing outdoor power equipment, vehicle repair. It might be a 20 minute walk to the tool I would like to have when encountering a problem on my property. The Sidekick is most often what I have on me and usually gets the job done. It works away from home, too. Just last month, my mother-in-law had a small appliance problem that the Sidekick made quick work of. It was the tool I had on me, saving a trip to the hardware store.
It's a very capable multi-tool. It's best attribute is it is as easy to carry as a smallish pocket clip knife, but does so much more.
