Drill gearboxes?

I know nowadays we like these VersaPlanetaries, but they're heavier and more expensive than the good ol' drill planetary gearboxes of yore (See: Nothing But Dewalts, =0's DeWut kit).

Anyone encountered any other good drills with gearboxes in them that can be acquired for cheap, and are reliable (all metal gears, and housing preferably)? I've heard bad things of new Harbor Freight drills (It IS horror fright...). I'd like a larger ratio, but I'm not looking for shifting (or clutch).

Nicer, easier mounting is always welcome.
