Default Which has the better cordless 18v. drill: Bosch or Hitachi

Presently have an Hitachi cordless 14.4v. impact driver. Use it for
driving screws into wood. Very pleased with it so far. But this is my
first ever impact driver, so I don't really know whether I should be
impressed with Hitachi or the fact that I'm now using an impact driver for
screws rather (ostensibly a better match) than my (corded) drill driver.
That said, I am in the market to buy a cordless drill driver (since I
discovered my impact driver is not quite as handy as a dedicated drill for
when used for drilling). But I'm kind of torn between my long time
admiration of Bosch tools and my current infatuation with Hitachi (or, at
least, their cordless drivers). And since I'm not independently wealthy,
I can't afford to just by one of each (although that would certainly make
for a more fun afternoon). Therefore I'm seeking
opinions/feedback/advice/experiences related to cordless drill drivers by
Bosch and/or Hitachi (and/or any other decent quality brand worth
mentioning). Thanks in advance.

Logical thing is to buy more Hitachi 14.4v tools since that is what you have
started. Otherwise you will have incompatible batteries. That assumes they
have a line 14.4v batteries. If not, bite the bullet and switch to a more
complete line.
In general, you get what you pay for; don't fuss too much about precisely
what you buy. If the price is what you want to pay and it feels okay, then
it is fine.
