My research split it into two groups;
- Fuck off big ones for smashing shit up.
- Small easily handled ones to drill holes.
I went no. 2 and bought a corded blue Bosch which importantly came with a box with Drill, Hammer Drill, Chisel & Variolock. It hasn't had a great deal of use and I haven't yet wished I'd stumped up extra for a battery one. Ymmv and all things considered my mates nice cordless makita was better to use. But for my level of use and based on the cost of either a dewalt one or an additional battery system it just isn't worth it. You've also got to factor in new drill bits into your budget. Your numbers may be right, but I don't think it's as little as +£20 for a cordless. If you've already got makita battery tho, I'm pretty sure they are the cheapest of the premium brands for bare units.
I'd add that I'm really glad I went for a smaller one as even small ones are big and a long way from the freewielding ease of a combi.
Edited: wasn't actually on sale.

On the subject of SDS drills. Any recommendations?
My FiL has an ancient Bosch mains one that he swears by, which for its age is a good recommendation, but its there anything from stopping me from spending 20quid more and getting a new battery one like @hamracks one.
