If the vast majority of the screws are drywall, then it might be worth
considering a screw gun. Otherwise, a good quality 18v drill driver
would be a sensible investment and would produce clean and
consistent results.

You are maing that up, as you have never used a drywall drill.

I did not say "drywall drill".

I own a Senco collated screwdriver.

This is exactly the correct tool to use if driving a large number of
drywall screws

Matt the OP said: "7000 screws ranging from drywall to 4 inch". That calls
for an Impact driver. For £130 he will get a Ryobi ONE+: two 45 min charge
Panasonic batteries, a charger and an Impact Driver. For an extra £60 (£190)
an angle drill/driver and an extra £40 gets him a drill/driver, that is £170
in total. So, an Impact Driver plus angle drill for £190 or Impact Driver
plus drill/driver for £170. Prices from Screwfix, so may be cheaper
elsewhere. Takes some beating and about the the same price, or cheaper than
the DeWalt (B&D underneath) he was looking at.
