Haven't tried it enough for a full review but I picked up the 18 volt Lithium-Ion 1/2" drill cordless drill last night for $107.10, after the 10 percent moving discount. Normally, $179. The current sale price is $119 . I found the price on the website after entering my zip code. Website says "Reflects Local Discount". However, at the store, there was not a "Sale or Discount" label. Instead, there was a regular printed label that said $119.
Going out of town for a few hours but if needed, I can post the receipt. However, it doesn't list the sale price, only the $107.10

In order to get the sale price to display, I had to enter my zip code for my local store. 46835 Try it. Then enter your zip code to see if it's a local price for you also. However, you maybe able to purchase online at the sale price and pick up at your local store. Lots of options here.
The first thing I notice with this drill the difference in color of the spider man web grips. I had come to like the green version on the NiCad drill. With the new Lithium-Ion, it now is a gold color. Also, the texture of the grip on the green one is rubbery where as the gold is more of a denser, plastic feel. It doesn't come with a light but rather, a mp3/fm radio player that connects directly to a usb port. Not bad. Would rather have the light that comes with the green NiCad kit.
The website says it can be recharged 1500 times versus 500 with a NiCad pack. Not sure if this is just hype or not. It has two batteries and the charge time is 30 minutes. The keyless chuck seems cheap but I can live with it as long as it works. Incidentally, there doesn't seem to be any noticeable runout but I don't have a drill rod to take precise measurements.
Please post your results. Hopefully this will be a successful find, much like my DeWalt ROS several months ago.
