Yep, always worth considering what you are likely to want in the future.
Obvious trade off between power\ runtime and portability when considering tools too. Depends on budgets etc. but you seem to get better deals buying batteries and chargers bundled with drills and then buying bare units for everything else.
I personally use Makita, but other people swear by DeWalt, Milwaukee or Bosch Blue, there are cheaper consumer brands like Ryobi, Bosch Green, Black & Decker but they seem a bit of a false economy at times for me. Then there is a step up to the best of the best like Festool, but that is more like £500 rather than £100...

I have a corded drill and that's really my only power tool. Would like the option of using the saw outside, which means battery as I'm on the 2nd floor, so maybe makes sense to settle on a brand and look for a few tools that can share batteries. Good food for thought.
