I checked out that Hilti grinder last night and decided to pass on it.
This is a 15.5A, 7" grinder that comes with a diamond cutting wheel
and a thin abrasive "grinding" wheel that I would have called a cutoff
wheel.

The no-load speed on the label turned out to 11,000rpm as opposed to the
8,500rpm listed on the Hilti site. This limits the wheels I could use
considerably. I'm still looking for a grunty lower rpm grinder to keep a
grinding disc or cup brush on and 11,000 rpm would be scary-fast.
This Hilti looks to be more suitable for cutting stuff--including masonry.

Another thing I noticed was that the guard was a lot thinner metal than
the one on my 6" Porter Cable (=FLEX) grinder.

Cheers,

JLD
