I've got both a nice DeWalt as well as a cheapie harbor freight one I got 
when I needed a sawzall and someone had my DeWalt.

If my eyes were closed, there's not much difference between them.  If 
you're a pro and you're going to use it day in and day out, need to be 
able to get it repaired, can't take a chance on a bad one you need to 
exchange, etc...  Get the Milwaukee.

But if not... I'd save the money.
