Thank you. I have spent the last 27 year in commercial cleaning. I have taught many people how to clean office buildings efficiently with the equipment on hand.
I also learned task cleaning by my grandmother at an early age. And that translates well to the cleaning industry. I learned using one of 3 Kirby's in the family. Starting at the early age of 3. Now going on 49(OMG where did the years go LOL) Therefor learned how to use it to my best advantage and still is my first choice in vacuums.
When the dust settles only you can determine what works best for you. Hopefully you don't have regrets in the choice you made.

Thanks, all, for the thoughtful comments! I just ended up buying them both. Definitely don't NEED them both, but it's nice to have the upright for certain things and the canister for certain things. And they support American jobs, so I'm ok with it. I'm getting the Electrolux fixed up for return to my mother, who is tired of her Filter Queen, so it all will work out in the end (after these hefty bills are paid, of course). Maybe over time I can come to appreciate both of them and do some posts on comparing the apples to oranges.

Congratulations on 2 great cleaners!!
Hopefully you're finding that both cleaners are serving you well. My bet is that you're really enjoying the varying levels of suction power and height adjustments that the Simplicity has to offer. Simplicity are Riccar canisters are one of if not the best in the industry!! Lots of options, tons of power. Surely capable to clean every square inch of a home!
Happy Vacuuming!
