M12 Surge as an installation driver alternative?

I know its not necessarily the perfect tool for the job, but putting that aside. Assume i can only have a single tool, and cant carry a separate drill, driver, and impact with me.

The install driver seems good and all, but everyone knows its issues. Its old, lagging behind on features, big, awkward, and has an ... unpopular method of changing gears.

Someone suggested I look at the Surge and I have to say it was intrigued. Small, same weight as the installation driver, has the hex chuck I need. Regular gear controls.

You lose the torque clutch control, which can be an issue. Seems you can still do delicate work if you use the correct settings though. Its not as powerful as a full impact, but its already more powerful than id usually need.

Has anyone replaced their installer with a surge? Or attempted it but gave up cos it wouldnt work?

How does the noise compare under normal use? Even for things where the impact isnt needed, is it louder or the same? (I heard someone say the installer is whiny, while the Surge is a lower pitch, which can make a lot of difference).

Just an idle fancy of mine. Its tempting. Talk me out of it I guess!
