Look at what is available these days - the latest brushless motor models
appear to be much smaller than the previous models. Don't judge your
purchase based on what was available the technology available 5+ years ago.

Yes, brushless became fairly common, albeit expensive, just after I bought

a 14.4V Parkside combi, far heavier use than it should have had.
