If it bothers you less to have to drag in two vacuums the pro team super coach back pack is very quick on edges. The smaller vacs may do fine as well, but I much prefer the added capacity and versatility of the 10 quart. I've tried enough other backpack vacs, the pro team is the way to go IMO.

Waldo, if you don't have a back pack you will appreciate having one for edges and other tasks, too. We have both sizes of Pro Team Super Coach and they are both terrific. I prefer the smaller, lighter model which is also HEPA.
Not sure what system you use, but that 2" hose coming through the front door.....
It suks purdy dang hard : )

For a 1 man show, I think the vac hose works best. Get the best open area vacuum you're willing to use regularly and hit the edges with your vac hose. I've thought about bringing in my 10 foot whip hose that's 1.5" to do this. It might get into corners better than the 2".

Back packs are hard to beat for edges. Fast, light weigh and with a long cord you can cover a lot of ground.
It doesn't replace your upright though, it just a compliments it.

With all the "must have" equipment discussed here, everybody should have a van + a 20 foot trailer behind, attached to a secondary 12 foot trailer to carry it all.
Unless you run a high efficiency crew where it makes sense, just use the freaking 2" hose.

If you're using the 1.5 whip, you could buy yourself a one piece wand and cut it to your height specifically for the task, $30 plus shipping from http://www.centralvacuummotor.com/proteam.htm. Or get a two piece and hunch over a bit.

I say GET used to it. Why buy anOTHER vacuum when all you need to do is pull out the attachment and do it.
can't be that awkward to use the on board hose.

I normally vacuum the carpet with an upright then clean the edges, corners, door opening and such with 2 plastic wands....
