No, the Craftsman can be beat.  And Geo is not the only one that has one of the Elec-Trak E-Z Vac attachments.

I have one of the E-Z vac attachments, but found my version that is like a bagger mounted on the back of the tractor was too small for the volume of leaves I had to deal with.  So I used the blower and a trailer and came up with this rig:
