Central Vacuum - Pistol Grip

I'm in the process of gathering money to go from my bagless Riccar unit to a bagged MD. Right now I have an RPU-C10 Riccar, 2 motor 240v unit, going to an MD M965h2, another 240v dual motor unit (I have a thing for dual motor units...) largely to go with bags, but I also found there's an even more powerful motor I can use to replace the factory ones with, so it'll really have some suck to it! I have the Riccar P/N too, but I am also getting a Wessek Werk EBK360 to use on my QuickClick hose.

Here's something to clarify, this was based off of my own experiences. Those blue microfilter bags are easier and cleaner to change however, I cannot use them on both of the intake pipes and I cannot use the utility valve. And again (I'm saying this twice now) I've seen these bags loose airflow when they fill up (I assist with my boss on central vac service calls). Plus they're not as big as the white hyperflow bags which means I would change them out more often. Those are the reasons why MD came out with those new tru-seal bags. Now that wouldn't really happen to anyone who uses these like tolivac for example but why would I use those microfilter bags where I can have a hyperflow bag that would hold longer, use both intake valves and utility valve, and I wouldn't have to tear apart the microfilter bag to find some lost jewels? I barley noticed a problem or just slightly with those hyperflow bags loosing airflow on my Silentmaster or anyone else's that I know personaly. That's my two cents.

My grandparents have a Kenmore central vac that they have used since 1977. My grand father installed it back then and we all have been impressed by how it works. That being said, I prefer central vacs where bags are a factor. However they use an Oreck XL21 for most cleaning, given the carpet they have it does just as good as the CV they have. They use the central vac for deep cleaning and for attachments every other week.
