I would personally go with the dewalt brushless drill that's on offer in screwfix for the same price.

Tend to agree, whilst the Makita has more torque settings, and better batteries, the 30minute charger, brushless motor, extra torque, led light and the T-Stak case swing it in favour of the DeWalt for me.
The Makita is still an excellent tool though, just that there are other, better IMHO, options right now.

Makita 42Nm torque
DeWalt 60Nm torque
So DeWalt somewhat higher torque available

also this makita doesn't have a job-light absolute deal breaker for me

I wasn't sure which one of these to go for the other week. It was the all metal chuck that final swung it for me and I went for the DeWalt. I'm very pleased with it.

I used to think they were a gimmick but the led really helps in dark corners. I wouldn't go back to the dark ages now.

nope, you will need a HDMI switch, and they are like rocking horse stuff.
