To address some criticisms:
1240 in-lbs is plenty for any job you would ask of a 1/4" driver. If you need more, you should be shopping for a 1/2" torque wrench.
1.5Ah battery really isn't a drawback to me. Light, powerful tools make long days suck less. If you're doing repetitive work driving hundreds of screws, it makes sense to get a bigger battery. But 1.5 goes quite a ways on a brushless motor. I'd rather carry another 1.5 in my bag (or swap it from the charger) than have the extra weight of a 3.0 or 4.0 on the tool the whole time.
your head all day driving suitable fasteners for little $ this is a great option that should repel disappointment.

The impact that really replaced the subcompact for me is the xst01 soft impact. It can still drive a 3" screw now and then but for most assembly, it's fast, quiet, and has a great touch.
I gave the subcompact to a friend bc there was really no job that I would reach for it. I've also envied the cxt dt04 which is essentially a 12v version of the subcompact but actually, I'm good.
