I’m going to get the Makita - it’s about £120.
Extra £25 will get you a TStak and all the bits :)

I don’t have any dewalt tools except an ancient router.
Multi tool can share a Makpac with the angle grinder.

If you scroll back a few pages you will see I bought the De Walt tool. I haven’t used it in anger yet but it seems a good job. I recently bought De Walt drill and impact driver so have two 4Ah batteries to use with the multi tool. From what I have read it seems the Fein accessories fit the De Walt too but I haven’t tested that. I bought from Screwfix - bare tool £105 or thereabouts. That was with some accessories but no depth gauge or case. The cases seem pricey too.

I’m also in the market for a multi tool.
I watched a long and exhaustive YouTube review of cordless OMTs (fuck me what’s happened to my life‽ )
To save you the bother; the Fein is the best -along with the Festool which is basically the same tool.
BUT
The reviewer said if you already have dewalt or makita 18v platform you’d need a really good reason not to buy a bare tool to go with your batteries and they do the job fine, both have tool free blade change - I can’t remember if the dewalt uses the cheaper blade mounting standard but the Makita does - the Fein standard is nice but pricey.
