I have both a Vitamix, and a blendtec on the counter, I also use both regularly and love blenders.... . However if there was a fire, I would save the Vitamix. The tamper is the Bee's knees.

We had the Vitamix e320 for several months (paid $349.97, but it ended up returned). We also have the Ninja from Costco (paid $79.97.)
We don't make drinkable smoothie, we just blend frozen fruits to make sorbet-style frozen dessert that should be eaten with a spoon.
Vitamix: one has to really work the tamper to get good results. But the result is really really smooth. The thing is deafeningly LOUD. The pitcher and the lid are not dishwasher-safe.
The Ninja: no tamper needed, but the result is not as smooth as with the Vitamix. But noise is much much more bearable than the Vitamix. The pitcher and the lid are dishwasher-safe.
Even without the difference in prices, we'd have kept the Ninja. Not dishwasher-safe is annoying, but the noise killed the deal.

I would be buying this if I did not nab my Blendtec Fit for $125.
