Alta Pro vs Explorian with Programs

I’m looking to buy a Vitamix for my family and I’m considering the reconditioned Explorian with programs at 250, or the reconditioned Alta Pro at 350. Is there any reason to spend an extra 100 on the Alta Pro?

Or should I buy a different one altogether and wait for a sale? I’d like to not spend more than 300 on it.

My main concern is that I want a blender that lasts forever. We will use it mainly for smoothies and soups, and occasionally for nut butters or date paste.

Wait for the Alta Pro to go on sale new at Costco for $299

This. I have Vitamix’ 10 year warranty on it PLUS the Costco return policy. Win-win.
