I have the Makita BDF452....bought it as part of a kit with the Makita impact driver. The impact driver is a workhorse, the drill is another story. The runout is ridiculously bad....It's hard to imagine they could engineer the chuck to such loose tolerances. I'm in the market for a new drill; the best I've owned is Milwaukee NiCad. Hard use for 10 or so years, gave it up because replacement batteries were toooooo expensive and I decided to go with a lithium ion.
If you plan to drill metal or do any type of precise wood drilling, I'd think twice about a Makita due to the runout.

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
