Hi Lenny, I would think that you are purchasing this drill for portability's sake?
If that's the case, then why not spend a bit more for the 18 volt model, as you'll get a bigger range of jobs done with the bigger model. If that's not the case, and you are just purchasing it for some other reason than portability, then sure, you should grab that model, but I think you may be able to purchase the same thing for a cheaper price somewhere else. I do believe that what you are paying for here is the name, as opposed to it's features. Granted, as someone who is totally blind, the idea of having the fuel gauge isn't very attractive, most of the special features are geared mainly towards sighted people, and you could probably pick up another drill of comparable ability at a lesser price.
