Miele Help?

I'm trying to decide which Miele vacuum to buy. I'm so tired of my mum's cheap bagless upright that I'm going out tomorrow and buying a Miele. Question is, which one. So far it's between 3 models: the S 380, the S 5210 and the compact S 4211. Is their much size difference between the full sized and compact Miele's as there doesn't appear to be in pictures and video's I've seen. Also, the S 380 is a Ł30 cheaper than the other 2. Is this purely because it's an older style model or because it has less power? I'm really stuck here. The S380 seems kind of big and clunky and the exhaust is on the bottom so I can't stand it on it's end when I'm vacuuming the stairs but it's Ł30 cheaper. The S5210 seems like my best bet but i like the S4211 as it's compact and a lot lighter than the full sized machine. So I thought I'd ask you guys which you think I should get. My house is your average UK-3-bed-semi plus an attic bedroom but we don't have much storage space (the Miele would be kept in my cupboard in my bedroom). Any advice guys?

all the best,
Chris

Checkrate/Likes Hey thanks for the advice. I spend an hour in Currys deciding which to buy. I went with the Callisto is the end. The Solaris was really expensive - Ł139.99 for the basic model. The Callisto was on sale at Ł95.99 so I went with that in the end but it's still fab. Used it all over my house today and was so impressed with it. Very pleased indeed :D
