Honestly I was wondering myself after purchasing it if I should have waited a bit longer. It's possible I may take a gamble and return it in hopes price it drops further. It's an item that is more of a want instead of a need at this time.

Yea… I've been in the Dewalt ecosystem for quite a while, and have a lot of tools, including some of the 60v ones. But when my drill/driver started billowing smoke, I happened to catch the $99 deal on the impact drill and drill/driver combo, with two batteries and charger. Hard to pass up. Now with these ymmv I've added the oscillating and picked up a 16 gauge finish nailer.
Yea… I use the Dewalt 18 brad nailer cordless… and it's been great, it's just a bit light on strength. I have a pneumatic 15 gauge which is far stronger (full head)… but much more of a pain to set up the compressor and hose. I'm hoping this 16 will be good. The brad nails look beefier than the 18 ones. Word of warning on the framing nailer… I had the Dewalt cordless framing nailer and it sucked. Perhaps it was an issue with the one I had, or the nails I used (tried mutiple different brands)… but literally 75% of the nails only went in half to 3/4 I'd the way. So I gave up on it.
I'll use the 16 for inside finish work. I just used it to nail down some stair treads (nice oak that I didn't want huge holes). When reading reviews I did see some people comment that they used it for doing fence and that it worked good. And yea, for a good price try out the framing gun…
