I do like that the Excalibur had an on board bare floor tool, that is great. I think the Fantoms were the only other upright to do that if I remember correctly, but the hose suction on them was terrible and they lacked an upholstery tool.... maybe not the Cyclone XT and subsequent models, but I know they Furys and Thunders didn't include one. I never liked the placement of the switch on the Excaliburs. They had a 2 speed motor didn't they? Or was it a bare floor, suction only option on the switch instead?
