The leaking thing is really simple. On the cup adapter (the part with the blades) is a red rubber seal. First of all, that seal needs to be in place (it's removable for washing) and second you have to make sure that the seal makes proper contact all the way around the cup as you're screwing it down onto the adapter. Sometimes the seal can get bunched up--especially if you've slopped powder or other ingredients onto the lip of the cup--and if that happens the seal will have a gap in it. And once you flip it over to attach to the blender, liquid can (will) spill out.
That happened to me twice early on before I figured out I needed to watch the seal as I'm screwing the cup onto the adapter. If it starts to bunch up it is obvious if you're looking at it. In that case you just have to unscrew it a bit and try again. That's usually all it takes. Furthermore you can do a lot to prevent it from bunching up by being careful about adding ingredients, or wiping down the lip of the cup before screwing it onto the adapter.
For folks who like to add things to their smoothies after blending, these are not a good fit. As for me, I've already dialed in my recipes and I don't make any changes to them. Also keep in mind that because this blends upside down, your order of ingredients for proper blending is reversed (e.g. ice first, liquids last instead of vice-versa).
When I first got this, I hated it. But after using it for a week or so I adjusted the amount of stuff I was trying to fit in there, got the proper ingredient order and figured out the situation with the seal. It's been great ever since. I actually find it easier to clean because the entire setup is dishwasher safe, unlike normal vitamix containers. Thanks to its wide mouth and holes at the bottom, the cup adapter is really easy to rinse/clean by hand. That's what I do most days. About once a month I toss it in the dishwasher (I remove the red seal first and put that in the utensil holder). The cups get put in the dishwasher after each use and everything comes out gleaming.

Does the V1200 not need the adapter? It includes 1 20-oz cup like this but the picture doesn't show the bowl-shaped adapter.

Thanks for all the input everyone.
The main container is too big for everyday single-use and this one is too small for a meal replacement shake.
Come on Vitamix, bring a two person container to market.
Glad to hear the NutriBullet Pro is good! I am tempted to get one for the ease of personal smoothies. Due to my cheapness, though, hoping to get an even cheaper alternative.

Edit: I think this is a common feeling based on responses in this thread. Before getting a Vitamix, definitely be realistic about its possible usage and if it's really more than you need.
