Shop vac or metro vac'n'blo

[oneill24]

So the title says its all, I was looking for a new vacuum and I'm kinda stuck. I already have a shop vac but its old and seems to be losing suction. I've been looking around and I can get a 6.5 horsepower shop vac for around 120 dollars. The metro is 4 horsepower and for the full size it is 250 dollars. It does however come with a few more tools but the shop vac has the ability to suction water after I would shampoo the carpets. Also the shop vac only has 8 feet of hose compared to the 24 of the metro. I also dont want to forget about the size but for me its not really that big of a deal that the shop vac is larger.
So it seems that I can get a larger motor and the ability to suck wet and dry for about half the price of the metro, is the metro worth the extra money and if so why?
