Central Vacuum power heads (beam vs stealth)

We're going to be getting a MD central vacuum system and wanted to get some opinions on an electrical powerhead to use with it.

So far, we've narrowed it down to 2 options: Beam or Stealth. Stealth is known to last forever, and with a lifetime warranty on the belt it's hard not to think this must be the most reliable product. However, the con to the Stealth is that the power head's neck (where it connects to the hose) only rotates 180 degrees. The last thing I want to do is fuss with a 30' hose during cleaning and storing away.

The Beam power head's neck rotates a full 360 degrees, so the hose never gets kinked or tangled. Beam also has a new Easy Reach retractable hose, which starts out at 12' and extends up to 30'.

We can't seem to decide! We haven't found a lot of discussions over power heads. So I'm hoping someone here has some input! Thanks!
