Brushless is in theory a more efficient motor with more power for its size but.... you do not get something for nothing and it's not a slam dunk. There are good and bad brushed and brushless things and not all brushless things are better than all brushed things. A bushed motor is a much simpler design internally for the speed controller and cheaper. To offer brushless which is more complicated and expensive at a competitive price point requires design decisions that skimp and save elsewhere. Often, cheap crappy internal electronics for the more advanced speed controller that run brushless equipment is its failure. To make something brushless just to be brushless has a marketing advantage though as the subtle changes with a cheaper chuck, smaller bearings, plastic/nylon instead of sintered metal etc. are overlooked. When is the last time you saw a battery/powered tool that bragged or touted its internal design, type of ESC, bearings, chuck or head design? They don't, they just say "It's Brushless" and most people deduce that's better.
Nonetheless I still sold my 12v max stuff and went Milwaukee. Wider selection, almost as small and light, not expensive used, and they have an amazing M12 shop vac among other great things. Plus they are not very expensive and easy to buy in the states, and constantly innovating.

Also, as has been said here, get the combo set posted in post 33?
These Bosch are compact and are great for fine detail. I'm also a fan of having two sets (I actually have 3 sets) of drills / drivers because it speeds up the process of the project you are doing.
And, I loath loaning tools, but I don't want to be "that guy", so I keep the set I like most and loan out the lesser, knowing that I may not ever see them again, or they may be beat up beyond the condition they were loaned.

Same - I think my Bosch drill and impact combo kit is 10 years or more old. The batteries still seem to work great. The only thing that broke in these years of homeowner DIY use was the charger - I had to buy another one about 3-4 years into ownership.
These drills are small and awesome, though I do have Ryobi battery tools also; bought into the Ryobi platform just for the nailer.
