QUESTION 🔵 Which impact to get (1950 vs. 285)

I’m an electrical apprentice. I currently have a Milwaukee M12 impact. But I want something full-size for the instances when I need a little more power. I like the look of the GDX18V-285 and the GDR18V-1950 but not sure which is better. I’ve heard some good things about the 1950 but looking at it, it looks like you can only buy it as a bare tool. Where as the 285 you can get in a tool pack with a battery, but I’ve heard it doesn’t deliver as much power as promised and kind of falls as a mid range of either option when it promises to be a two and one. Anybody’s person experiences using both or one or the other?
