I was wondering about this. I noticed they make a few models of grinders. I've always had the slide switch and wondered about the lever
HD recently started doing it. There was a thread about it on here.
I returned everything and bought Milwaukee and honestly can't say enough good about their tools. Night and day difference! And I am investing in m12, not m18.
The lowest in quality you should ever go is Bosch. I have some Bosch and they're great.
m18 has 7/9" that is much better but you cant use smaller disks as well

There's two sides to this, paddle switch in some applications may be favorable and is also safer in my opinion. If I'm making cuts on tile (I.e cutting a hole on a tile) or small/quick cuts I prefer the paddle. For something like grinding where I would be holding the paddle for a long time, I prefer the switch. Also, if working overhead I prefer the paddle from a safety stand point.
It's the DCG416B DEWALT 20-Volt MAX Cordless Brushless 4-1/2 to 5 in. Paddle Switch Angle Grinder with FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE I ended up going with, with the yellow tip. Lol. I will try to look for the video
