The proper tools for a job are a necessity, going cordless is luxury.
I bought a 14.4 volt cordless drill because it will put in any screw i can withhold with one hand. For self drilling screws to screw a wood floor to a steel trailer chassis (which needs torque AND rpm) i use the corded drill, its a deliberate choice because you need a top of the line cordless drill to screw self drillers, and i didnt want to spend three times as much money for the once in a while job that needs that raw power. 95% of those jobs are in the workshop or in house, with plenty of wall plugs to plug in the cord.
Furthermore, i buy tools whenever the job at hand makes me break even on the investment, so it payd for itself nomatter how long it sits in the cabinet waiting for the next job i need it.
