The "Flexiclick" is often on sale for $120-150, comes with the right-angle flexiclick adapter, and is much more versatile than this, IMO. With the chuck attached to the right-angle adapter, it comes in with a height of about 4". The bonus here is that you get the offset adapter, which is simply the bee's knees.
Same can be said for the m12 "installation" drill, although I prefer the ergonomics of the aforementioned Bosch. Not sure on its height with adapters attached.
Another option is the Milwaukee m12 right-angle drill. More diminutive, AFAIK-- The m12 boasts 3.75" height (that I have not verified, but it does look shorter)
And of course, the cheapest and most ghetto alternative would be a decent universal right-angle adapter. The Dewalt is effective and is usually about $20 I think.
While I agree that Milwaukee and DeWalt seem to be bro-targets today, there's a benefit to buying into a large ecosystem.
Bosch may have a little larger ecosystem today, but they definitely don't seem to have the kind of lineup found in the blue/red/yellow/green teams, or even Ridgid.
Edit: After a little research, I'm surprised just how large the Bosch lineup actually is.

Ryobi is absolute garbage, and except for their high-end Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt are all vastly overpriced and the dude version of a Louis Vuitton purse. I do usually chose Makita bits though since I find them pretty reliable and usually priced within reason.

The only tool I have ever had problems with is the early Bosch brushless drill and it was one of my most expensive to purchase to boot. To this day it has random "dead" trigger issues and I even sent it in under warranty for this, but it came back just as bad.
I do agree the Ryobi stuff can feel a bit cheap in the hand in comparison to some other brands but the ones I have are working reliably so far. I have one of their highest torque impact wrenches that, when paired with a big HP battery, is a monster.

I have this set, don't use it all the time, but invaluable when need occurs!
I use it mostly for getting in tight places to install cabinet latches, etc using the offset attachment, lets you get as close to a surrounding surface as possible.

Don't want to trash Bosch as I recommend their 12V compact impact driver as one of the best tools ever made and you would will have to pry it from my cold dead hands. That is said with me being very committed to the Dewalt ecosystem for the majority of my tools.
