The short answer

The DEWALT DCS334B costs $43 more (50% more) than the BLACK+DECKER BDCJS20C — $129 vs $86. For the extra money you get: a brushless motor and an LED work light. Meanwhile the BLACK+DECKER BDCJS20C has a complete kit (everything you need in the box), which the DEWALT DCS334B doesn't.
