Both are great in my book. I had a few makitas in the past and had great luck with them and they were very easy to use. I however did borrow a friends Hitachi last year and I was quite impressed with the package as whole. It did feel a little smother than the makita, but the makita is well balanced also. I guess the 5 year warranty and the cheaper price makes the Hitachi better.

I will let you all know tomorrow. I just bought a new Hitachi.
