Meets all of my needs for home use and I can swap batteries as needed.
Lately I have been completing my collection via auction sites where you can get things way cheaper then retail. Used obviously but still in good shape.
For home use its worked out really well for me.
Pick a brand and run with it.

Not a bad idea and I did consider a DeWalt set. The 7 tools kit at Lowes was like $600 though. I'm not hurting bad for money, but if I can get away with the $135 Ryobi deal for the two saws, I'd be really happy that I don't have to tie up a ton of money in other stuff I likely would barely use.
Part of the reason why I want a cordless reciprocating saw is because I need to do some work on my roof (cut some branches that are thick and whacking the roof when the wind blows) and cut some stuff up there one handed if possible. I'd rather not have to worry about cords or have a heavy cord more likely pull the tool off the roof. It was scary enough up there with a hand saw. I guess I'll start hopping into a few different home depot locations and see if they have the tool. None of the stores show definitively that they have the tool and it's not available to purchase and ship.
