gearwrench question

Hey guys, should I get the gearwrench set that has the

8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 for $100
or
10,12,13,14,15,17,19 for $50

Are there many other cars that use the 8,9,11,16,18 That I'll wish I had?

Thanks

the LCA bolts on my dads benz are 16mm on one side and 18mm on the other....which is kind of odd, and it fits both criteria...AND you cant fit a ratchet on one side.

I know a lot of bikes (not motorcycles) use 8 and 9 for things...the brake bleeding ports come to mind.

As far as the upper range, I think the sprocket removal tool requires an 18.

I used to work in a bike shop and I used a Park tool all the time that had 8,9,10 in a triangle shape. That was the only time I remember using the 9.

Any one else ever use a 16 or 18mm wrench?
