Hi Roger - I think it's beautiful! That won't be a popular opinion here though, lol
I love the white and silver colour scheme; my favourite DC14 was the white/silver/yellow All Floors model.
How amazing to have a DC03i NIB, so long after production ended. I'm certainly envious!
The DC03 outputs 90 airwatts, same as the DC01, so the DC24 is actually more powerful at 120 airwatts, despite having a smaller motor. The DC24's smaller intake focusses intensified suction on the surface being cleaned, too, so pick-up is greatly enhanced. I spent over half an hour on the phone to the Dyson folks last week, and the DC24 vs the earlier compact models was one of the topics of discussion, as well as the DC27, DC28, and vac design in general.
I have 2 DC03s, both duplicates of the Clear models. This is the nicer of the two:
