Various VitaMix Models

Hi All – I have been happily using my BlendTech for a couple of years (according to the digital display, that’s over 1100 blends). I am thinking of buying a VitaMix. I keep the BT at my boyfriend’s place, and I want a second blender for my (infrequently visited…) apartment. Also, I make 64 oz of green smoothie every day, and I think it will be a simpler process with the big cannister of the VM as opposed to the 40 oz cannister of the BT. (I know this might seem excessive, but I work a lot so that I can afford to be a bit excessive when I want! I will conveniently put aside thoughts of my enormous student loan debt and focus on my beautiful pineapple/strawberry/kale smoothie waiting for me to devour for lunch…) I’m not sure which VM to buy. There are some specials right now – I think on RawGuru – for the VM 4500 for about US$329. On Amazon, it’s about $50 more. Reading the Amazon reviews, I came across a few people saying to go for the higher-powered model, which I believe is the 5000? Apparently it has more speed options and a higher top speed. Can anyone please give me some feedback as to which model they have and what they think? The ‘higher’ model is more expensive – closer to (or at, i forget) $500.
