I use the sebo 36 and although it would appear to work as well as the dyson, when you attach the sebo's extension hose, there is a definite loss in suction.
When taking on a stair job where pets are involved, I generally risk the distainful glare and take the dyson in.
I spoke to Dyson about the possibility of them bring out a 'commercial' model that would be available direct as opposed to the highstreet. Unfortunately their bean counters don't think its a viable move. I have to be honest and say that had the choice been there and with knowledge of the sebo, I'd have gone for the Dyson.
