Russ, if you can afford it, get the devastator. I used it for the first time today, besides at the Experience and I cannot tell you how much I am impressed with it. People often ask "what's the big deal with the swivel" and you can't really can't answer them until you have used it. It is a big deal. It makes life much easier going around furniture. It will probably be lighter than your current 2 inch wand. I can't speak to the airflow because I was using an unfamiliar tm, an Apex. It had great airflow but I have nothing to compare it to since I normally use a 1.5 inch wand. After using it on and off for 5 hours today, I'm sold. Costs a fortune up here with our weak dollar and shipping but it's on my future list. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself. Don't give it to your new employee.
