question regarding cordless Reciprocating saw

Hi Guys.
For a long time, I have been using the dewalt reciprocating cordless saw and several corded one. Now, time to get a new saw. Since, I have switched to Rigid drill recently, I want Rigid saw too, so I can use my Rigid batteries.
After a little search, I found that there are two types of reciprocating saw now. The normal type (big and heavy), and the one-handed type (small and lighter). The differences I can see is that the one-handed saw has the handle and trigger in the middle of the saw. Also, it is weight around half of the normal saw. Stroke length is shorter and quicker.
Has anyone owned both for home use? What do you think about the handle and tigger being in the middle of the saw? Can you give specific opinion?
Thanks.
