Jack,
Have you considered a Royal metal upright similar to this one. It cleans as good or better than a Kirby but is lighter because there is no transmission. The brushroll has brush stiffeners which act just like the Hoover beater bars did. This machine uses disposable bags but can be purchased with the shakeout bag system as well.

Jack,
Just to let you know that Royal metal uprights are now being assembled by TTI in the USA again. They are now being assembled at the old Oreck plant in Louisiana. The quality of the Royal metal upright has not suffered at all. The machines are still manufactured with the same excellent quality that Royal has always been known for.
Proper height adjustment is easy to obtain. Just twist the Adjust-O-Rite knob until the plastic button on the front of the nozzle sucks in and you have obtained the perfect height for the type of carpet you are vacuuming.
As far as lying flat, I can assure you that there is a release lever located at the base of the handle that will allow the machine's handle to lie completely flat to the floor.

Jack, I think you mentioned that you love Royal vacuums with wheel covers / hub caps. Here is a fully refurbished Royal / Stark vacuum with hub caps. It even comes with a warranty.
