I was also considering a refurb V1200 for $249 or a 5200 for $299 direct from Vitamix, plus $25 coupon discount. The Venturist V1200 and other Ascent models use the SELF DETECT containers so you're limited to their specific containers. The 5200 and explorian series doesn't have this. I preferred not having that so there's more flexibility in what containers I use. You can get around it with an NFC chip hack thing but I didn't want to bother.
The tall container on the 5200 seems to be consistently better in every review I read or watched. The downside is that it won't fit under your upper kitchen cabinets on the counter. That is annoying but I have a space where it will fit in my kitchen.
The low profile 64oz requires a larger batch to blend properly. The tall 64oz is more flexible in blending small batches as well as large. You can get a 48oz low profile container that is more similar to the bottom of the tall 64oz. The 48oz comes with the e310.
Anyway, I did more research on blenders in the past few days than I care to admit. Lol
all VM models are not created the same!
