I've been using the Makita 12v cordless on my S2000 all season - it works
great - breaks the lugs fine - but I only torque to 80ft/lbs (Honda spec).
I also found it for ~$179 at (lists just shy of $300):

Are the bolts larger on these other cars that people need to torque them
down so much?

Right, at 800"/# not 800'/#, I suppose it wouldn't be strong enough. At
800', Bentley would be putting that under the hood of the Arnage Turbo
instead of the 6.5 liter turbo. So, I guess there's no surefire cordless
model out there for our purposes.
Now, I did actually see a jack for less than $200 that would hoist a car in
two or three pumps of the handle...
