However, I hear that when this issue happens with vitamix "the quiet one" (has the quiet cover like the stealth), it's very easy and cheap to change the part yourself as in unscrew, take it off, screw back in

If you guys are just using for home, I doubt there will be any issues. Costco has the blendtec for $400, or wait for it to go on sale.
