Third, The lithiums are priced about the same now... ABOUT, not the same
but about. If you consider how long the Lithium's last compared to
Nicads in regular use, it's a win to the Lithiums.. more longevity for
the same job.

Sorry, can't agree. Two DeWalt 18v NiCads go for $99 right now in Home
Depot. The nearest comparable 20v DeWalt lithiums are $149. To me
anyway, that's not "about".

I do agree that lithiums are superior in almost every way, but they do
cost more, at least for now.
