Treehopper drill - mini or not

I am placing an order soon and wanted a quick ask of the forum - do I go mini drill or the slightly larger drill from Treehopper?

I intend to buy the cordless drill bit for presets, but for 'non-preset' hunting, is the mini a better option vs the full size drill? Or does the extra 3/4" of length make a profound difference with drilling?

My hunch says get the mini...

I have the mini and I love it I don’t see what the extra 3/4” adds...I actually run in to clearance issue with my lineman’s belt at times...but I assume that’s user error
 
Mini. Buy an extra drill bit as teh tip will eventualy wear out and you wont be able to get a tap.

Ive got two on the way actually to replace mine
 
I ended up getting a cordless drill bit and the mini drill which comes with a bit installed along with a bag of 25ish bolts.
Mark lives close enough that I can hound him for other bits when that time comes.
Thanks for the recommendations - I am excited to get out there and locate some trees to preset.

Now, if I had more than only one trail camera...
 
The drill bit was a disaster for me, I could only get about 20 bolts before my 20V dewalt crapped out. I just use the hand drill now, it only takes but a minute
