 For what it's worth since you already have the 18V Dewalt you might want to look at a set of XRP batteries...
Check this out..
Bare-Tool DEWALT DC820B 1/2" 18V impact wrench $85.66
 
DEWALT Bare-Tool DC825B 1/4" 18V impact driver  $79.66
DEWALT DC9096-2 18-Volt XRP 2.4 Amp Hour NiCad Pod-Style Battery, 2 Pack $101.99
Amazon has a promo going on with $25 off $100 in Dewalt tools..
No tax and free shipping.. 
now you get 2 new batteries for your older drill and a impact...
For what it's worth i would get the 1/2" unless you think your going to need to get into a tight spot...
Keep in mind that the tools listed are just bare tools they come in a box with no batteries or charger.
And your under budget... for accessories like adapters, ect...
