I just bought this one. I probably could have saved a little, but not much had I been able to find the 5200 at a local Costco (I have to pay 9% sales tax at Costco and Amazon), they haven't been carrying them recently in my area. Vitamix also charges more for the brushed stainless finish on their website with the refurbished ones ($379 vs. $329) and it looks like the cookbook is pretty good as well. I think the 5200 cookbook from Costco was a bit smaller.
Just thought I would share if anyone is looking for a deal. I used the $31.71 in Amazon rewards to buy it as well. I should be receiving it on Wednesday.
