I think it is "worth it" if you have a specific need for a $400 blender. I
suspect that if you don't, it will collect dust. Do you find yourself
saying "Oh, I really wish I could do XYZ buy my blender isn't powerful
enough" When I see them demonstrated, I just walk away thinking how glad I
am not to be among the few who need to make soup in a blender.

You might want to haunt the thrift shops for a while.
I picked up a Vita-Mix Super 3600 in mint condition at a local thrift
shop for the princely sum of CDN $10.00. It is a great machine but,
I'm sure I'd never be able to rationalize spending what they want for
a new one.

Before looking further, keep in mind that--despite what the ads
imply--it's just a blender. You make hot soups by putting in hot
ingredients, and you make smoothies and the like by putting in very cold
ingredients. It's a powerful blender, but just a blender.
