I've been looking at these for a few months now and last thursday decided to get the Makita 8406 from Plumbfix thinking it would be delivered the next day. Disapointingly it wasn't and found out I had to wait until today (29th) for delivery.
I waited for Parcel Farce all day but nothing, I'm so annoyed that when it does come I'm taking it to the trade counter for a refund as their are better deals to be had but was willing to pay slightly more thinking I was getting it next day. Its been a week since I ordered and still no delivery.
I will either re buy the makita (850W) at £255, or have been looking at a Bosch (1500W) at £273.

The Bosch boasts higher wattage but on the link below it says the output power is 840W which makes it lower than the Makita.

Which would be the better core drill? 127mm would be the absolute max I'd use it for.
