The XE6 is the big daddy of the regular Juice line up. Its wide body houses one of each of all the blades and tools found in the other models. Only the specialty Juice Pro has more functions. And what exactly does the "XE" prefix stand for? Only the insiders at Leatherman know, and they're not telling.
