DeWalt versus Milwaukee Sawzall?

I'm trying to decide on buying a better quality Sawzall now that my cheapo harbor freight Sawzall is going bad on me now and I need a good Sawzall that has some power and will last a good long time since I do a lot of scrap metal cutting with it.

If you were to buy either a DeWalt Sawzall or a Milwaukee brand Sawzall which brand of sawzall would you buy?

I've had both Milwaukee and Dewalt brand sawzalls before and I found that my Milwaukee sawzall has outlasted my Dewalt Sawzall.

My Dewalt Sawzall quit on me after 5 years of continuous use while my Milwaukee sawzall is still going after almost 12 years now without any problems.

I also have a Milwaukee angle grinder that is almost 30 years old that was my dads and it's still working great so I would go with the Milwaukee brand sawzall since they tend to be made better and last longer than Dewalt or other brands.
