For me, the Hong Kong/UK and Europe adapters are the only ones I've ever needed (Chinese hotels have the HK outlets too) so I purchased 3 adapters for each of those 2 countries and I'm all set. Better than a bulky all-in-one which only gives you a single adapter for the country you're in and almost always is too heavy to remain in the wall anyway.

YMMV, but BoltJames, I can tell you've never seen or used a Kikkerland adapter. It's flat - about 1cm (half-an-inch) thick, works in every outlet I've ever run across, and it cost me around $2 on e-Bay.
STRONG recommend. SO much easier, cheaper, and less bulky than 'ala carte.'
