Thanks everybody for the input. Let me expand the topic just a tad.
I see several manufacturers offer kits with a circular saw, power
drill, and a reciprocating saw for a good price. What can a
reciprocating saw do that a circular saw can't?

A reciprocating saw can get into tight places. A reciprocating saw's
specialty is demolition (cuts through 2x4s, nails, drywall, etc.) A
circular saw is probably has more generic uses and with a guide it can
cut a clean straight line with reasonable accuracy.
