The one time I dethatched it created a crazy amount to pick up.

Power rake. And pull it backwards.. Yes, it pulls up a crazy amount of thatch. And I bag pretty-much every time...
And it's well worth it. Verticutting and aeration just aren't power raking. They are important, but they just aren't the same thing. Perhaps power rake then verticut. Make a weekend of it.. if you pull it backwards for the whole lawn, then rake/bag, if you can get out of bed on Sunday you'll be good to go to verticut. You can take M-W off from the gym!
