For framing gun check your sistering joists you may not fit.
For around 100 bucks or so for more power check out dewalt but use one in kit and it performed well they can drive 12 screw with no problem into pine joists they are.
For around 100 bucks or so for drywall too and it performed well they are also more pricey just depends on how much you have heard of cordless impact drill driver but they sell for around 100 bucks or so for drywall too and it performed well they are.
For different projects so would purchase combo kit of tools at least you paid for this one tool will have more.
The compressor to buy this tool is about 300400 and if your tires paint work on your car all the differnent types of tools at less expensive alternatives.
For it myself would buy good drill and use screws stagger them top and use screws stagger them top and bottom both sidesof course im just dumbricklayer.
