Which mity-vac/vacs do I need?

I will be buying one of the vacuum systems for the purpose of oil changes soon. I have no garage, my driveway is made up of sharp rocks, I don't really fit under the car and lack the appropriate jacks, and pumping it out just seems easier anyway.

I have been looking at the mity-vac 7201; it looks pretty good and has received good reviews from what I've read.

I also need a Mity-vac for the purposes of testing my vacuum system. This is a pretty noob question, but I wouldn't be able to use the 7201 for that, would I? I'm assuming I would need to buy a different mity-vac unit.

Also, does anyone have experience changing the oil with a 7201 when the oil is hot? I read somewhere that the hose can take this but I would like some confirmation.

Thanks
