I'm getting into more trim work and looking to pick up a cordless nail gun since I already have some Dewalt batteries. I've found an 18 gauge brad nailer priced at $299 just for the tool. However, I've also come across a Ryobi nailer for $139 at Home Depot, and I can grab two batteries and a charger for an additional $80. Although I'm not planning to buy more Ryobi tools in the future, I've seen good reviews about their nail gun and it seems like a better deal. What do you all think? Any recommendations on which route I should take?

I've heard some decent stuff about the Ryobi (crazy to say that!), but having different batteries could be a hassle. I own the Dewalt, and it works great!
I saw the Dewalt 20v 18 gauge brad nailer for about $275 at Acme Tools. If you're leaning towards Dewalt, that might be a solid option!
I was surprised by the good reviews for the Ryobi too! I'm leaning towards the Dewalt now, even if it costs a bit more.
