He may have been talking about the jar. They are $100-$129. The blender was like $400 new.

I would have guessed there are more Vitamix in commercial service than blentec. Maybe I'm wrong.
I happen to own a Vitamix, but I really think they are both in the same league. I doubt you could go wrong either way - unless you have terrible luck like Cen-tex.

They did say something odd which causes me to believe there is something to issue with the seal where the blades are. This thread is the first place I had ever heard that. I've never had an issue with mine (4 years) but she said that I should get in the habit of spinning the blade by hand 1-2 times before each use. She said this will fully lubricate the ball bearings before immediate high speed use. Just throwin' it out there.

My Vitamix has 2 'gears', low gear has variable speed control, high gear is constant speed 'turbo'. They tell owners to start at low gear lowest speed, then dial it up to highest level, before finally flipping the switch to high gear. I guess that kind of accomplishes what the Blendtec lady told you.
