I want a cordless reciprocating saw w/ battery. Prices got stupid all of a sudden.
Option 1: $100 at Costco

Option 2A/B: Ryobi combo kit $200 - Comes with saw, drill x 2, 2x batteries, flashlight

I actually want this one for $135 (2x saw, 1x drill, 1x flashlight, 2x batteries), but it seems like it's sold out/might be hard to find:

Option 3: Buy a Milwaukee 18V starter kit (5Ah and 2Ah battery) for $280, and can select a Milwaukee Sawzall for free.

Thoughts on what I should consider? The Costco one seems like it's good enough for my purposes (basically cutting thick branches on a softwood tree and other quick uses here and there) and looks like it's slightly better than a $105 Black and Decker.
The Ryobi has a little bit more value in the extra stuff if I can find a good combo kit. I'm the occasional DIYer so Ryobi would be fine for me (yes, I know it's more toy than big boy tool) and I wouldn't cry a river letting them collect dust. I borrow drills on a regular basis, so for a tiny bit more, it would be nice to have my own (even though it's no problem to borrow).
The Milwaukee seems like a great deal, but way overkill for me.
Thoughts on how to proceed? I've looked around and it seems like in general a cordless reciprocating saw is generally around $130-140 with battery for a decent one, so for a little bit more, I'm unsure if it's worth it to either nab extra tools/get a better saw or spend a little less and get the one from Costco.
