It's really funny... I went out to my local Aerus store today planning to buy a new white Lux Legacy (like what's on the Aerus website), but by the time I arrived, the store had already closed for the day. I came home disappointed, but once here, I found out that there are new, all-black 90th Anniversary models. Crazy. And to think I was worried Aerus might have been readying to discontinue the classic body style (I hope they never do...), but obviously they are not disconinuing them if they've invested in updating the colors yet again.
Question: do you think most Aerus stores have the black Legacy/Classic models in stock by now, or do you think they probably mostly still carry the old white versions?
I'm a bit torn. Of course I'm drawn to the special edition versions, and the new hose is really nice looking, but I actually think I like the look of the white versions better since they remind me of my old Diamond Jubilee more. I'm sure I'll want the 90th versions though. It also makes me wonder what the 2015 models will look like... still black, back to white, a different color scheme, or discontinued?
My guess is that the Legacy/Classic will continue to be sold in black for several years in order to reduce production costs associated with manufacturing tools/accessories all in black now, versus having separate white accessories for the classic body vacuums. Maybe for 2015, the bodies will return to white, but the trim, hoses, and accessories will be black (to keep sharing accessories with the Platinum).
