It depends on who you talk to, Makita is more of a Pro line than Ryobi, and a competitor with Dewalt. This particular XGT line of Makita tools is the top of the line 40v system, overkill for most people. I have the LXT 18v/36v system, and I have not regretted my investment. The 36v LXT tools take 2x18v batteries so you don't need a whole new set of batteries, very versatile.

Yes better than Ryobi. About on the same level as Dewalt/Milwaukee.

I used 18v LXT for years, by far a better platform I think than DeWalt or Milwaukee but slightly more expensive excluding sales. I think D&M are a better platform for trades people. For a regular homeowner I would say Ryobi and Ridgid are the better buy. I just started transitioning to all XGT and the battery life on the 4.0ah are phenomenal, but tool performance isn't that much better than the 18v model, at least not enough to justify.
