Opions on these two vacuums

[ziggo99]

I'm looking at replacing my 1.5hp shop vac. Using a 5.5hp model at work just makes working with this one almost unbearable. The two I'm looking at are at the Lowe's websites.

Item Number 127133, which is a Shop-Vac unit. $80 and looks small. 5.5 gallon and 5.5 HP
Item Number 120940, which is a Kobalt unit. $100, with the on/off controls on the hose itself. 5 gallon, 5 HP.

Has anyone used either of these models, or they're leaning more toward one than the other?

Kyle, I did a review recently on a wet dry vac called the PF51. It is $119 + $19 shipping. It has 100" of water lift and 114 CFM. Compare the stats. Here is my review:
