Thinking on it I reckon dbr was right. The 12v Bosch is smaller, lighter and from watching a couple of videos will cover your needs. It's not brushless, but my now nearly 9yo dewalt combi is brushed and has handled all general DIY including drilling into concrete (albeit slowly). I've never struggled with running out of battery for drilling - it's routers and Multi-Tools that kill batteries.
The downside as I see it is that the bare tools for the rest of the 12v range are relatively expensive so you're not particularly benefiting from being in that battery system. And some might not be up to bigger jobs -altho that's a guess, not experienced.
But in the event you start doing bigger projects requiring a bigger range of tools then you can buy into another system down the line and having a light combi will always be useful.

Thanks for this! Agreed that a case would be handy.
That Ebauer doesn't look bad but only 1 battery and an extra one isn't far off the cost of the drill. Not that I have plans for any jobs that will need more than 1 battery but you never know.
