Default Drill reccomendation

Hi,

I am after a new cordless drill. After a succession of crap Aldi-esque
drills that seize/gearbox failure/get stuck in hammer action I am going
to treat to myself to a proper drill.

The wish list:

- Budget - upto £200ish (preferably including 2 or more batteries)
- Interchangeable SDS and keyless chuck
- Decent manufacturer's warranty (1yr+)
- Reliable brand (Makita, DeWalt etc.) NO: Aldi, Wolf, Black and Knacker
etc.

What it will be used for:

- DIY!
- Mainly light masonary drilling. 5-8mm brick/stone/concrete.

What it won't be used for:

- Demolition work
- Big masonary work
- MFI flatpacks (unless for removal/destruction!)

Can anyone reccomend anything? I am a big fan of the SDS chuck for
masonary but still want the flexibility of being able to use standard
HSS/spade bits.

Am I looking for something that doesn't exist or can someone direct me
to the perfect bit of kit?

Thanks,

Andy
