Hi all
Been looking at a new combi drill and have a bit of a dilemma. Got 3 options...
I like the sound of the DCD796 however don't want to shoot myself in the foot by missing out on the 2 x 5.Ah batteries as I know these are expensive to buy separately.
Just for context I am a casual DIYer so don't need to have 2 x 5.0Ah batteries on standby but in terms of building my collection, having the 5.0ah batteries would be useful if I start getting additional Dewalt bare tools but it's a nice to have, not a deal breaker. I'm happy purchasing corded tools in future if it means I get more power for less money, as opposed to being tied to one brand.
Any advice or pointers welcome

- Dewalt DCD778 with 2 x 5.0Ah batteries and case for £153. This is a brushless drill, 65Nm torque and 1750 rpm.
- Dewalt DCD796 with 2 x 2.0Ah batteries and case for £134. Similar to above however it is smaller but more powerful; it has 70Nm torque and up to 2000 rpm.
- Dewalt DCD796 with 1 x 5.0Ah battery and case for £135
