The Metabo is the next best thing after a Hilti, it's not actually that far behind to be honest and I prefer the shape of it.
I got a deal for WB 18 LTX BL 125 side switch brushless grinder - body only £150, with 2 x 5.5ah HD batteries and charger £331.25 excluding vat.

Been using a Makita Brushless with 5.0ah batteries, never had my corded one out since !

I've got the Dewalt cordless, and used it recently on a 3 metre splashback, 7 sockets and 2 L cuts round the window plus a couple of other small trimmings, used 2 full 4.0ah batteries and they were only ceramics. It has its uses but I wouldn't be using it on a full bathroom, you'd need 10 batteries per day

use a makita 18v jobbie, eats batterys but easier than getting the wetsaw out the van if i've only a few cuts to do.

I have a Makita cordless for site work (cutting mosaics), I also have a Metabo variable speed corded grinder.

I use a Bosch one for mainly drilling porcelain with genesis turbo bits,batteries last well and it's light

I'm getting the impression the benefits don't out weigh the negatives.

I had a corded grinder for years just got sick electric cable round my ankles so got the cordless but then again I don't use it as much as some do I'm a wet cutter kid

My grinder is almost a part of my hand, it's in it so much.
The little Bosch 7-115 is so small and lightweight I doubt a battery one would get anywhere near it in size and shape tho.
