While the 64 ounce container is needed for lots of jobs like soup, smoothies, nut milks and other mixtures that need lots of space, I wanted something for smaller, thicker mixtures, like pudding, ice cream and small amounts of nut butters. The 32 ounce container is working fine for those smaller mixtures, making it easier to get at more of the finished product too, since you don't have to go so deep to clean out the bottom. I'm glad I bought mine.
