SDS drills

My 20 year old plus Wickes 500w SDS drill has finally called it a day and I'm after a replacement. I need to drill say 10mm in steel and 26mm in concrete, price around £100-£150 as I have some tokens for Amazon. Got a cordless De Walt which I'm happy with, and a cordless Makita which is OK but overheats with prolonged use. Would not have B&D or Erbauer, but apart from that no prefences. A Kango action might be useful sometime. Looking at around 800w input.
Any ideas?

Has drilled a lot of re-enforced concrete etc no problems. Slip clutch is a great job for larger drill bits. Can put an adaptor chuck in it also and change to rotary mode for drilling wood steel etc. think I paid around a £100 for mine
