Bare cordless saws weigh less here. Bosch's six weigh 3-4.4 lb before the separately supplied battery and charger.
GST18V-60CN and -60BCN rate 3,800 no-load strokes/min; JSH180B and GST18V-47N rate 2,700, below every corded Bosch.

With no preferences selected: GST18V-47N 18V Barrel-Grip Jig Saw (Bare Tool) is one option to compare.
Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.

Bosch's cordless Barrel-Grip Jig Saw (Bare Tool) at 3 lb and corded Barrel-Grip Jig Saw at 5.9 lb mark the weight endpoints here. Bare-tool weight leaves out the battery you will use, so compare operating weight and the supplied battery and charger before choosing cordless power.
Handle shape is a separate decision. Both power sources offer barrel grips and handles above the body; select the grip you want before applying a weight ceiling. This comparison reads Bosch's specifications without putting the saws through cuts.
Stroke speed leaves the cut quality unanswered
Bosch's maximum no-load rates span 2700 to 3800 strokes/min. The corded Barrel-Grip Jig Saw Kit is rated at 3000 strokes/min and weighs 4.85 lb, so switching grip styles does not imply the same speed or weight.
No-load speed measures motion without a cut in progress. These figures do not show vibration, precision or how a blade behaves in your material. Follow Bosch's blade and speed guidance for the job rather than reading the rate as a finish-quality verdict.
Before you buy
Can I have any mix of power source and grip?
All four pairings exist, though not evenly: four corded top-handle saws, two corded barrel-grip, two cordless top-handle and four cordless barrel-grip. If you'd rather skip batteries, the corded saws weigh 4.85 lb (the JS572EBK kit) to 5.9 lb.
Does a higher stroke rate mean a cleaner cut?
Not by itself. These are no-load maximums, the blade's speed when it isn't cutting: the corded saws are rated 3,000 to 3,100 strokes per minute at most, and several saws start far lower (500 strokes per minute on the JS470E, 1,500 strokes per minute on the JS120N). Use the blade Bosch's manual suggests for what you're cutting.
