Makita XT269M 18V LXT Drill/Driver Kit. Good?

I’m looking to replace my LXDT04 impact driver from 2014. Found the XT269M 18V LXT Drill/Driver kit for $200.

Will that driver be noticeably faster and more powerful than my LXDT04 driver?

Is $200 a good deal?

Thanks.

looks like XDT13Z is DTD153,

and LXDT04 is DTD146.

170 vs 160nm.. not much difference.

Do you really need so much torque?

I have the newer 180nm model and almsot always use it on the lowest stage

I don’t know. I do know that I used a friends newer Makita driver momentarily and was amazed how much faster it drove screws in compared to mine.

So…..I figured if I’m going to get a new driver, why not an upgrade in speed/power. I will be driving hundreds of 12″ long screws on a house roof (they’ll go through 7/16″ OSB, 10″ EPS foam, 3/4″ decking, then into 4×8 rafters).
