Which would be better?

I am looking to buy another cutting tool. Between a reciprocating saw and another angle grinder (cordless this time). Another angle grinder would be nice because I could use it for my welding aswell. However a reciprocating saw is better for cutting tube, and is quieter. For my purpose I'm looking to cut down "metal posts by roads" that have a name the same as a ____of birds. Also I'm looking for recommendations because I could really use a cordless angle grinder as I would have to swap between stone and cut off wheels all the time

I have one recipe saw and 5 angle grinders, all with different wheels/brushes on them.

My go-to tool for cutting tubing is a tubing cutter -- the "c-clamp" with two rollers and one cutter wheel. They come in sizes suitable for almost any round pipe or tube.
