Yes, you're right. The recent TSV is 2 speeds where mine has many more. Not that it's a big deal as the price was considerably less. I see the newer one didn't get great reviews & a number of purchasers preferred their Ninjas. This is my second Vitamix from QVC. I purchased the 7500 as it is shorter to fit under cabinets & also included the dry container. I haven't tried the dry yet, but expect to get some use from it. Purchased separately, the dry container is around $100 alone! Since it can sit comfortably on my counter, I leave it out so it's getting more use. I always had the bigger one stored away so used it infrequently.
