I'd be all over this if I didn't already have this and the non-fuel version.
Keep in mind this is a RATCHET, not an impact wrench. This will save you time ratcheting, but won't break things loose foe you. It doesn't have high torque, but you can use it as a regular ratchet to tighten down or break things loose. A lot of complaints around these types of cordless tools usual revolve around not knowing its purpose.
Any point of upgrading to this if I have the non fuel ratchet?
This is the high speed ratchet (450 RPM no load vs 250 RPM no load) and is brushless so it should last longer. If you are a shade tree mechanic, the non-fuel is a nice wrench. If you make money wrenching, the faster and longer lasting tool is likely a win. As noted by a previous commenter, it is louder (but both are quieter than all of the air ratchets I've experienced). Both ratchets are rated at the same torque level (35 ft-lbs). This ratchet does feel much more substantial in your hand than the non-fuel (2457-30). Note these are ratchets, and the intention is that you manually break bolts loose then hit the power button to spin the fasteners off. If you are in the rust belt or dealing with larger fasteners, more torque can make the difference between powering the fasteners off or having to manually intervene for 1/4th of a turn every turn or whatever.
If you really want to get on the cool kids bus, the Milwaukee Insider Extended Reach ratchet (model 3050-20) looks like a great product, and is rated at muscle-y 60 ft-lbs of torque.

For the HO kit, this is the lowest price I've seen for that.

Gearing is for speed. They both will need a manual turn to break hard bolts loose, many prefer speed over torque on rachets.
