I do like the DeWalt stuff, but I just don't know if I want to spend the extra money. While I'd eventually want to replace all my existing tools and be back to one battery tech, my short term purchases would be:

sliding compound miter saw
edger - not string trimmer, an actual metal bladed edger.
sander - I'm torn between belt and "mouse" corner style.

As far as tools I already have, for the most part they are standard tools that all the major brands have versions of. Tools that may be harder to replace depending on who I ultimately go with are my wet/dry shop vac and my tire inflator.
Just picked up a B&D "mouse" sander for very occasional use... such a deal on sale at Ace Hardware. It works great for what little I will be doing with it.

A lot of the B&D stuff was exactly the same as the DeWalt stuff, but now I am not sure how much of that is still the case. My cordless drill and impact driver are DeWalt; the corded drill is a Milwaukee. Ryobi, Milwaukee, and DeWalt all make good stuff, but the larger batteries for any of them a hellish expensive. :spinonhead:
