Actually I'd prefer there to be only 1 selector tool, every program that I've used that made the distinction of 2 mouse pointers with slightly different functionality of selection has made it HELL to use. The act of switching between the two cursors is a PITA, whereas a silent selector switch based on user motion/action is a more natural and easier to perform action without requiring brain input, muscle memory and intent are all that's required.
