Sorry, I’ve only used variable speed triggers on my recips. Personally I like having control that way kind of like my jigsaw. I am normally able to control cuts with the trigger and more importantly the blade I am using. Hope someone can help you and welcome to the forums.
Same here Chris, diy that is. I will say the 3.0 is wider and they do make belt clips that’ll fit them in. Whereas you already have backups I’d try the 3.0 , the use a larger high cap cell and work in my nailers really well.
I cannot comment on the 20v but I now only run 3.0 compacts and Flexvolt 6.0/9.0 on my 20v tools. I sold all of my other batteries. Just a space management decision. The FV6.0 is big but I never run out of juice with those on.
What do you want to know about it? Use or value? Sheffield is in England and they used to make the best tool steel (arguably) the fence looks really solid too, how is the blade shape?. Welcome to the forums, Chris.

Also if you want to empty your wallet for a cools linkable system I use Mini Systainer for most of my electronic tools and specialized measuring stuff.
I know you specified Dewalt by Tanos makes some slick Systainer boxes for Festool and their standalone offerings,
I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about but they do have a few small parts cases that I use...
