Good afternoon. I don't post much (previously 6x6), but I just had to chime in on this one. For me, K-drill is the way to go. I had a NILS, and I converted it to a drill two years ago. I agree that they are awesome augers, and very fast. If paired with the right drill, it will serve you well. I went to a k-drill last year and will never look back. Two main reasons. With the k-drill, you get free life time blade sharpening which is a step up from the NILS. Second, replacement blades are on $40, and you can replace yourself. The K-drill is much lighter, durable, and extremely fast. Lastly, for me, the NILS struggled with overlapping holes to create a larger opening when chasing Macks at the Gorge. Piece of cake with the k-drill. The choice is just splitting hairs as they are both good, but for me, the k-drill is it. Of course, make sure to pair with the right drill/battery, and you'll probably never need another auger. Just my opinion.
