Both Ridgid and Hitachi's basic corded 1/2" offerings feature this speed, so it's not a Magnum-exclusive feature. Fred, 0-850 RPM seems to be a common speed for 1/2″ drills.

The real thing that I notice when I use other drills(other than the sheer power of this drill) is how smoothly the Milwaukee still runs. No vibration, no gear scream, and incredibly durable. Now, can I justify a 1/2" one too?? My brother did loose my sears 1/2"..... I’ve had the 3/8″ version of this drill for close to 20 years.
