Miele S2 vs S5

I'm set on purchasing a Miele canister. Need some insight with real differences between the two lines - S2 and S5. Looking at straight comparison up on web I don't see significant differences in the unit itself. For e.g. http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/vacoverview.html For the most part it looks like main difference is in the bundled attachments, such as, power head, brush. Motor is the same, suction & air-flow supposedly is similar. Does it mean that if you throw higher end power head, floor brush that is bundled with Callisto over to a Delphi then Delphi becomes pretty much similar to Callisto ignoring cosmetics such as ergo handle etc.?

Hi vacmanuk, I am not saying that I expect a vacuum to look exactly the way it it did the day I took iyt out of the box forever. Hpwever, I have seen and even own vacuums that are 40 years or older that, even with a few dings, have maintained more eye appeal than my two year old Capricorn. With reasonable care, just for the sake of the aesthetics that may have helped me choose thing -- especially at high price -- I'd also like to see some proof of external quality like a finish that can endure a few bangs and scuffs. I want this the same as I want body components that are resisteantt to breakage, I want to to walk to the closet and feel a little pleased by way of my purchase's appearance. There are finishes or materials that can help promote that but Miele apparently chose not to bother though nothing was overlooked when time came to decide on what to put on the price tag. Saving a few bucks by painting some body components when you use color infused material elsewhere is merely nickel-and-diming. And the even greater insult is when you see machines that cost far less doing the opposite. If it can be done for two hundred buck machines it would seem like cinch for a vacuum they ask as much as $1,200 for. Venson The same could be said for many brands though Venson. I guess it's really what your own expectations are as a buyer. The SEBO K series is a good case in point. SEBO have already contacted me about the issue of the look of the machine in question and they will openly admit that it isn't the best looking. Even when it came to designing their D series they have no intention of putting any silver on their machines as its a known paint that comes off during use. I guess its courses for horses where looks and materials are concerned. Can't have everything.
