Default Die Grinders

I'm leaning from what I can learn to the bosh variable speed DG490CE. Have had real good service in the past with bosh and there still made in Germany. Any comments if you have one are welcome.

Now I'm all over the map on die grinders decided to get a good one wonder how well the latest dewalt 20 volt cordless lithium varrible speed would work for limited time periods until battery recharge, or should I stay with a corded die grinder ?

die grinders are usually running a while. porting and stuff. you don't need the portability of cordless. buy a corded one. more power too.

I'm more of an air powered guy but tried some electric die grinders not long ago.
