If you have carpel tunnel and MS, the Moxie is going to be a lot heavier than the Miele. I think the Moxie with its parts are about 30 lbs--its a heavy machine. the Miele should be lighter about 8-10lbs, depending on the size power nozzle.
I am from Long Island and we hardly have any Simplicity or Riccar retailers. Its also hard to find Sebo, Aerus Lux and other mentionable brands here. Most of the population here seem to like Big Box or disposable junk brands like: Hoover, Bissell, Dyson, Shark and Kenmore. Wealthier households have housekeepers. Where you are in CT, I checked it out and you have many more Riccar dealers, Miele and Aerus. You cannot go wrong with whatever you decide. If something goes wrong or needs repair, at least you have 6 or 7 dealers that service within a 20 mile radius.
Maybe you want to wait and save a little extra money and get a brand new Miele Callisto, its one of the best machines available. or get the Moxie if you can get a better deal and weight/bulk is not an issue.
