That is if mafell continues to partner with metabo. regardless I'm enjoying my metabo drill quite a bit and will probably snag their multitool as it looks like a good cordless one. I have a corded fein which is great but the cordless could be more useful to me

Yep... either straight into the shaft, or into the quick release bit holder.

I've just ordered the Metabo dedicated drill version myself: Bs 18 ltx Bl Quick. Ironically, this drill-only version actually costs slightly more (or a whole lot more in my local marketplace) than the more "pedestrian" hammer drill version. I suspect that actual production numbers made the reason for this anomaly.
Most customers I suspect believe that there's something inherently superior in a hammer drill version. I believe otherwise. Having been an electrician & builder for much of my working life I've probably drilled close to a million holes in hard substrates. Enough to realise in fact just how much I loathe & detest the frightful performance of hammer drills in hard substrates. It's not just the slow progress either. Hammer bits won't last any time at all, the tools are inefficient, subject to dust ingress, vibration and heat & friction damage. But worst of all is the utterly god-awful sound of the poor tool literally screaming in protest at using 2 rippled metallic plates in opposition to provide a modicum of a hammering action.
Any professional or enthusiastic amateur with any vestige of intellect and hearing ability remaining after assaulting their senses hammer drilling would be using a dedicated hammer instead. Hard-hitting, rapid, efficient & above all quieter. Sometimes prone to enlarging mounting holes too much in softer substrates, this is where a non-hammer "multidrill" bit works best. Non hammer gears, shafts & chucks also tend to be much less prone to induced runout, & thanks to the lack of hammer rings & selecters within the final drive more reliable too.
I'm sure others think otherwise, but to me the combination of lighter weight, simpler and more reliable construction and shorter arbor is a winning combination.
