I have owned a Vitamix for probably 10 - 15 years and loved it.  When the Accent Series came out I was ready to update to more features and power.  I use my new Vitamix every day for something.  I love the 32-oz container but in a lot of cases (smoothie, salad dressing) I don't need a container so large.  When you release a smaller option I will be first in line.  My 32 oz. will continue to get its share of use!
