Filter Queen question

[toastermike]

I recently posted that I just bought a Filter Queen Majestic Limited Edition. From what I am reading many people consider the FQ to be one of the best of the canisters. The LE has been referred to as the last of the "traditional" Filter Queens's. Why is this? How are the later models differen? I am really enjoying this vac!

It was the last to use the "old style" attachments

Models coming after this used a new direct connect tool setup, and a new powernozzle that uses a geared belt. They are now using single stage motors but i don't think that change took place till after the 360.
