Higher Wattage models will allow you to reach the desired temp more quickly, by a ratio of the Wattage (1000W units will get there about 25% faster).
I have this model and there were two issues that have come up over about 5+ years. One is that I seal the top of the pot with aluminum foil and sometimes the unit will just quit. I suspect it has to do with moisture condensing inside the unit and tripping some type of sensor. I then have to dry it out with a fan or hair dryer to get it working again. The other is that sometimes the stirrer will make a loud screeching sound for a while and then stop. I have to turn off and on the unit until it stops.

If you've not done Sous Vide before, just make sure you have the right expectations. This won't save you time or much effort, but you can easily make perfectly cooked steaks, you can make tough cuts of meat tender, and you can be flexible about cooking times as long as you don't expect it to be quick.
E.g. I can throw in some chicken breasts in a zip-lock when I get home from work and even though they might be done after 45 minutes, no harm in leaving them in for several hours until I'm ready to serve dinner. They do need to be quickly seared in a pan if you don't want them looking odd.
In 4 1.
My Anova nano is starting to act up so this is going to be a backup.
I have this very unit. For all of my needs, the 800W unit is perfect for Sous Vide cooking. Some great books and online resources to learn the process.

They provide lots of resources on their site for cooking time and temperature for all types of food. One critical issue with meat is not allowing cooking times longer than 2 hours when cooking below about 131F. While sous vide allows lower cooking temperatures over a longer period in order to cook food evenly and to an optimum result, there are minimu and maximum times to allow for pasteurization of food at lower temperatures and to not allow botulism or other micro-organisms to grow at temps close to about 130F.

I was interested in it until I read about that (and the accompanying +20 degree changes losing those parts makes to your temp range.)

No problems. I've used it regularly for 2 years.
An additional benefit of this particular model is that the metal shield around the heating element / impeller is removable so you can clean it easily.
Tempted to buy another one just as a gift or spare as the price is great.
800watts can easily hold temperature in ~10 quart water with 4 thick steaks in it.
