I've recently bought a Henry and it is fantastic. I liked our Dyson but when we moved to this house we lifted the carpets and have sanded boards throughout with two rugs in the whole house. The Henry has no beater bar (although I believe you can get one with a beater bar) so is not so good on the rugs as the Dyson was but it is much better on the floors, lighter to carry and not so noisy. Another plus point is that is was only £85 or so from Amazon although it needs bags but then the Dyson needed filters.
