Primarily I want a cordless grinder so I can chop stuff up and in to the car at the steel merchant rather than fannying about getting 6m+ lengths delivered. It will tighten up to 1000nm and has a break-off torque of 1600nm, absolute overkill for what I wanted it for.

Hard to say, I only really use the 18v grinder for chopping off the odd bolt and cutting slates/tiles/bricks etc. I had borrowed a friends before, did a test on a rusted on towbar bolt, and it breezed the nut off through all the way up 1" long rust encrusted exposed threads.And that’s in part due to the built-in dampening section to prevent batteries from being damaged by impact vibration when the tool is in operation.

Remember you need half decent quality black heavy wall stronger sockets with an impact wrench of this power, save the cheaper crappy sockets for forcing undersized sockets over problem/half-rounded bolts. I'm in no doubt that it will slacken the usually stubborn hub nuts+front crank shaft bolts that give me grief in my daily jobs as vehicle mechanic+so far would highly recommend although it's size might prove awkward on some tight suspension work.
