I have only tried the Bosh, and not the one you are looking at, but after
years of occasionally using air powered jackhammers, I found the Bosh entirely
too wimpy to bother with.

Depends what you're doing with them. For tasks like breaking up a
bathroom tile floor / mud bed they are entirely satisfactory and an air
powered one with a diesel compressor parked outside would be rather
absurd.
