Are Ridgid plumbing power tools too much?

I find better deals with Milwaukee with press tools and Milwaukee and DeWalt for snakes. I know Ridgid has the biggest selection in plumbing power tools, but are they that much better?

Rothenberger has a good selection of cordless plumbing tools, too. The brand is German but their cordless tools are mostly made in Spain. They use Metabo batteries and they are planning to have the same tools using Bosch batteries, too. Another brand for cordless plumbing tools which is extremely expensive and another class is REMS, everything is made in Germany and extra heavy duty and their tools have their own batteries, not compatible with other brands, not yet! Their cordless tools are 22V. If you look at their reciprocating saw blades you will see they are in another level.

Their blades for reciprocating saw is different compared to all other brands, here is a photo, I think it holds more firmly!

Here is one from DeWALT to compare.

Here is a PDF catalogue from Rems (2022 edition) you can have a look, in page 63 you can see the cordless reciprocating saw comes with a AC battery shaped adapter so you can use their cordless tools as corded if needed.
