Anyone have this data on inches of lift for various vacs?

I know the VacMaster at Costco (mentioned above) has 88" of lift. From what I've read, 80" is the minimum you want. I've been eying it. Just waiting for a few more reviews to come in. $99 shipped right now. I will also say that I contacted VacMaster with some questions about it and their CS was excellent - quick, thorough and gave me all the answers I needed.
Costco also has the Hoover GUV in stores for $129.
I like that the VacMaster is a 1 7/8" hose - the smaller hose seems to clog too easy, and the big ones give up too much suction for most jobs (except like leaves).
