   I have the Senco Duraspin.  It works great for rock and decking alike.  It was 150, but you also need to provide the drill.

   I used a Senco Duraspin for a few hours a while back.

   It was nice to NOT have the cord. And it was nice to NOT have to put the screw on the bit.

   But I really didn't like it all that much. It drove the screws a lot slower than my Milwaukee drywall screwgun.

   And anytime that you bumped the screw against something, it advanced the strip one notch. That was annoying.

   If I recall correctly, there was no way to use it to back out a screw if you needed to.

   And the screws are a lot more expensive.

   I also like that with my Milwaukee screw gun, your hand was more in line with the screw. Sems to me the pistol grip style works much better in this situation than the T-handle.

   But I could live with either one...

   just my two cents about the duraspin: If i got it for free I'd use it but I think it's an annoying tool. The only thing i really like it for is that you can hold the rock with one hand and start enough screws to remove your hands from holding up the rock. but when i say start i really mean ONLY start, sure most of them go in nicely but for the ones that dont go in all the way, you need a different tool to sink them. I find this terrably irritating. Hope that helps.

   I have both Senco corded and cordless models.  It has it's faults, but I use the cordless to tack the piece up, and the corded model to finish it off.  The corded model has more power and speed and doesn't bog down as the cordless will.  They sure beat shooting hundreds of screws individually.  And yes, a cordless drill has to seat those that don't go all the way, especially a problem at the corners.

   I never met a tool I didn't like!
