I should have made it clear, my budget is limited to around £80-£90
(+drill bits & other accessories) & I'm only going to be using it for
reasonably light & occasional DIY work - I couldn't possibly justify
spending over £200.

I was considering getting a lower priced budget drill but the Makita
seemed to be on offer at a good price and is reasonably lighweight for
the spec.

Given that set of parameters, it's a very good buy.
