Not quite as good, but they also had the two 4ah Lithium-Ion batteries with charger kits on sale from $200 down to $160.

But in volume and cfm, I'm able to blow wet leaves no problem. Just need to have enough batteries to sustain it, so I've picked them up with other 40V tool/battery BOGO deals, DTO, and Facebook marketplace.
That said, for battery life, the makita can get about 15-30 min on a 5ah and the Ryobi get about 10-20 min on a 40v 4ah, both depending on how much you're running the blower.
Personally I'd keep the Ryobi, having the CFMs to be able to blow clumped wet leaf piles is nice, and my ears thank me too.
But for someone who doesn't have either of these tools and is on the Makita platform, this is a good deal. The older combo of this is what I got. String trimmer battery life lasts forever and is light and comfortable to use. The blower works well and has a variable speed and a constant speed setting so you don't have to hold the trigger when doing low speed dust cleanup.

Surprisingly high for a 18v blower.
I'd still prefer a much higher voltage system for a blower though, it is one of the most demanding tool for batteries.
