Any one picked up this new cordless jigsaw? Is it as good as a Bosch? does it have a dust blower on it?

anyone?
I'll do the honors.Bump.Sadly I do not know.
Not sure of the model number or if there are different ones, but, yeah, I have Makita LXT 18 volt Lithium Ion jigsaw.
I also have the Bosch. I haven't given it a lot of use yet, but, so far, I like the Makita better.
It does have a dust blower, but it could be more powerful.
One thing that is very nice is the light on the cut line.
Have not cut much thick stock to know how straight the blade stays. The one thick cut I did make was through a door to put in a pet door. I don't know if I was holding it funny or what, but, the blade cut a few degrees from perpendicular. Like I say that is the only cut I have made in thick stock, with definatly have to check again - the angle of that cut was unacceptable.
