I'd choose the Eskimo Pistol Bit as well.

It's lighter (3.9 #'s) and the auger length (40") is longer than the K Drill. The Pistol Bit 8" model bores a true 8" hole vs. 7.5" for the K Drill.

Another item to be aware of is that the newer Pistol Bit models (#35600) now come with a centering point vs. the older models that didn't have this feature, which caused the drill to walk a little when first starting to drill a hole.
