Should I buy a Real Avid Gun Tool?

What do you guys use to mount your scopes, mounts etc? I have a hodge-podge collection of mounts and rings that require various allen wrenches, torx wrenches, etc. I've come across the Real Avid Tools which seems to have many of the often used wrenches in one tool. However they are $20 for the standard model and $30 for the pro model? Is there a cheaper alternative in a compact or at least "neat" (not cluttery) design?

I bought one a few years ago and have not used it yet, it stays in my hunting backpack in case I need it while in the field. I use a Brownell's Magna-Tip set at home:
