This led me to the Super Sawzall 15amp. I looked at the competing Makita but online reviews suggested some owner dissatisfaction. Considering Milwaukee's reputation in the recipro market and its 5 year warranty, I bought the Super Sawzall 15amp.
Using the saw for the deck project was amazing. The power got me through 8d exterior nails in just seconds. The tool is easy to hold and line-up for the cut. I didn't find the weight to be an issue as some have commented, the saw feels fairly well balanced in my hands. And speaking of balance, this counterbalanced saw doesn't feel at all like a jackhammer that wants to jump out of your hands (like I remember the early Sawzall being). Using this one is about as complicated as using a power drill -- only if you're clumsy/distracted will you end up with a botched outcome. The storage case is well designed, not larger than it needs to be and includes plenty of room for blades of various lengths. (Note: I have not yet tried orbital cuts with this saw, so I cannot comment on that performance.)
A key consideration in buying this corded 15amp saw -- or any 15amp power tool -- is your extension cord. Drawing 15amps, you need a heavy gauge extension cord to be working an appreciable distance away from your power source. At this writing, a 10 gauge, 100' extension cord is ~$100 so you may need to figure this cost into your purchase consideration.
Bottom line: I'm impressed with the build quality, control and power of this saw. I look forward to moving rapidly through future home projects and then one day passing the saw to my son.

If you have been using light duty versions of this tool have a care not to jam the blade as there is enough power to yank the tool from your hands.
The only quibble I have is with the case, it holds the tool, but there is no where to put blades in the case. You can cram in a few loose with the cord but that is it. It would have been easy to mould in a compartment for a dozen or so blades.
