Would anyone happen to know how far up the price chain you have to go
before you find an ELECTRIC brad gun (say up to 150mm) that drives the
nail flush with the surface (or even below the surface a bit) instead
of leaving it proud by 10mm or so? Are there any that are adjustable
so that the brads can be driven either permanently flush or proud for
temporary fixing?

First off, 150mm is about 6 inches, I think you have to go to
powder-actuated for that kind of length.

However, I recently tried the DeWalt rechargeable at a tool repair
shop and it worked really well. The service man said it used a
flywheel to provide power, rather than the solenoid action of the
cheap electrics.

I don't remember the exact price, but I do remember thinking that I
could buy a cheap compressor & pneumatic gun from harbor Freight for
less.
