What do you think of the Blendtec home blender?

I want to hear feedback from people who have bought it. I want to know whether you were satisfied, it's performance, and how long you've had it!! and if you recommend I should use it to make ice cream and if it actually grinds nuts such as brazil nuts to even sunflower seeds, and flax seeds into a fine powder and if it could make nut butters, and ice cream.
Also,
if you know a store in the Toronto, or GTA area that sells it let me know !

What is the best blender out there for the money?

I'm looking for a good mid-priced blender. I know the better (or best) are the Vita-Mix and the Blendtec, but I am seeking something more affordable. Also of note, is as to whether glass or polycarbonate is better. I have been looking at the Kitchen Aid

amazon.com/KitchenAid-KSB580NK-Metallic-5-Speed-Blender/dp/B000CSNVEM/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1297575093&sr=1-5

which seems to get a lot of good reviews, but it has a polycarbonate jar and they don't specify as to whether or not it is bpa free. I would like this same blender with a glass jar, but don't see it anywhere.

Kitchen aid is the mid priced Hobart brand which is the most seen institutional brand. Cuisinart is top of the line but expensive. Present day appliances are built to last to warranty expiration so I would look for the longest warranty.
