Vitamix--Which model to buy?

There will be a Vitamix demo next week at my nearby Whole Foods. I already know that I want to purchase one, but I can't decide whether to buy the Creations model that's featured on the Q, or the 5200. I see that I can also order the Creations model from the Vitamix website. I want a black one and I see that the on the Q, they are not shipping until 2/20! Have any of you purchased your machines at Whole Foods? Do they have the different models there for you to see?

I would like your thoughts on the 2 models. The newer model has a 5-yr. warranty versus the 7 yr. warranty of the 5200. I will be using it for smoothies and soups mostly. I might end up getting the dry blade container so that I can make gluten-free flour.

TIA!
