I have the variable speed milwaukee sawzall with the "quick change" bladeholder. I've used a Dewalt and in my opinion there is no noticeable difference in performance. Keep the Milwaukee. The quick change blade feature is just as strong as the units using an allen head screw, and far easier to swap out a blade since you don't have to find the allen wrench. That feature does have a drawback though. If you leave the tool where it could condense moisture (like in it's case in an unheated, poorly insulated, concrete floored pole barn, between winter/spring - hmm, I never would've thought... )the blade retaining pin can rust in place which means turning the cap to release the blade has no effect. If this happens then you'll end up disassembling the blade retainer and drilling out the frozen pin. Parts are inexpensive and replacing the blade retainer is simple. I've had no other problems with this saw. To prevent this from happening, remove the blade and just put a few drops of oil into the blade retaining slot when it's going to be put away for awhile. It's worked for me since.
