I also have both the P4 and the Arc. Both of them are so much easier to get to the tools. Like you, the P4 became my favorite knife, over the Wave+. I like the textured surface on the P4 scales better than the Arc. It hides scratches so much better and looks premium as well. The Arc's Magnacut blade is truly supreme, and because it has a little hole in it for the thumb stud instead of a larger cut-out, the blade is even stronger. I also like the awl on the Arc better. It has a tip. What was up with Leatherman, selling an awl with a blunt tip (on the P4)? Before I got the Arc I was convinced that I would always carry the P4 instead of any of my other Multi-tools, but the Arc has won me over. Cheers, my friend.
In Germany, it will costs use 300 Euro (300 $)! Just bought 2 Surge and 1 Wave Gen.1 (110 Euro) all unused for 285 Euro. Have the Wave gen.1 since 1999 and still loving it. Arc is quite interesting, but need to wait to see more reviews....
im wanting the arc soon! and yep i agree the quarter bits from ali express are stupid money! i would like one but i cant pay like 60 bucks for that lol

MagnaCut blade makes the difference between Arc and P4 atleast for me because I like the P4. The construction is top notch too.

You think the scissors of the Arc can be replaced by the serrated blade of the P4 and the Scissors of the P4 replacing the can opener in the Arc?
I don't see why not, they appear to be same tool frame.
