As I posted in the 133 thread, we have both and besides more overall power for drilling a lot of large holes, etc., where this 263 shines is with that anti-vibration handle and the built in clutch that is a lot easier on you when a bit catches. If you have carpal tunnel, or concerns of getting it, then this model, or one similar is the one you want if doing a lot of hammer drilling, or a lot of chip mode scraping of whatever.
That said, don't let the 2.6 joules of the 133 vs the 3.0 joules of this 263 confuse you. Basically, it is the same motor, but the cheaper 133 runs at 0-1500rpm with 0 - 5,550 bpm, while this 263 runs slower at 0 - 1165 rpm and 0 - 4300 bpm. They are getting more torque out of this 263 by the gear ratio that is slower with less beats per minute. What that means is that if you are drilling 1/4" holes, the cheaper 133 is going to drill them faster. If using larger bits, the lower gear ratio of this OP 263 has the more torque/power to push on through with a slower speed for the larger bits.
Since we drill a lot of 5/32" and 3/16" holes for Tapcons, if they made the cheaper and faster 133 with the anti-vibration handle and clutched chuck, I would not even consider this model. But, they don't and why we bought two of these 263's that have worked well for larger bits by turning a bit slower and not burning up the carbide tips.... and much more comfortable on the wrists and hands.
====================
But 2.6j vs. 3j means this 263 packs more punch than the 133. As far as the weight, maybe heavier is better with this type of tool. And although it's longer than the 133, it's only about 1/2".
All considered, I'm thinking this one is the better value and should offer more usability than the 133. This one will do everything that 133 can do, and more. Smart money says this is the way to go. The extra $30 is well spent.

You can drill a bunch of holes around the post and eventually the concrete will crack, Just take your time and try and remove as much dirt from around the concrete as deep as possible. When you discover how easy it is to drill through concrete and masonry with a rotary hammer, you will come up with excuses to put holes everywhere.

Edit for I was right the first time...
While also lighter in weight, the OP 263 has almost 50% more power (3.0 joules vs 2.1 of the 273 [dewalt.com]) at similar speed and bpm. I think you will find the vibration dampener with the OP 263 better and you will really like the built in clutch if a large bit hangs up. And if you are say, scraping tile or thinset off a concrete floor in chip mode, the longer tool is more comfortable for me.
=============================
the OP 263 has about 50% more power (3.0 joules vs 2.1)
Our sales rep left a DCH416 to try out and at like 725 rpm, just too slow for smaller bits. It was fine for larger bits with plenty of power, but for versatility, your OP 263 is in kind of the sweet spot for at least DeWalt.
If I were drilling 1/2" and larger anchor holes all day, then of course, the 416 would be the tool from DeWalt. I never got it hung up, but that electronic clutch is supposed to work well. The 263 is a factory set manual clutch that I have hung up and it works decent.
Edit for the comparison was for the DCH273 he has and not the 133 vs the OP 263... It was right the first time with almost 50%. I thought I made a mistake, but no, it was just late.

I see that... good catch. I got it right with the first post, but just an idiot tonight.
