Hello!

Considering buying my first steamer for auto detailing and have pretty much decided on the VX-5000 steamer that everyone speaks of. However, there appears to be two possibilities. One is the VX-5000 that is available out of Springfield, Mo. for $795 and an upgraded hose model that Renny Doyle sell's in Idaho for around $1000. He also includes a DVD on steaming and a free loaner not including shipping both way's if yours need repairs.

Thoughts from owners of either is greatly appreciated. Is the upgraded hose worth it?

Thank You!
