Vita-mix for grains/flours/etc?

jwoodin84

Hi everyone,

I am pretty sure I want to go ahead and buy a Vita-mix 5200, but am unsure if I should get the basic model or the Super. It says on the website that the Super 5200 comes with a dry container for grains...does this mean that you can't just do grains in the wet container with the basic model? Is there any difference in terms of the motor or whatever? I'd like to be able to grind grains, but am unsure if the Super is really necessary, and it does cost 100 dollars more. Also, does the basic model do fine for nut butters?

Thanks very much,

Jeffrey
