engineering quality IMO has more to do with profit margins than sales volume. apple and porsche are small compared to microsoft and GM in terms of volume but huge in terms of margins. i don't think you would dispute that iPhone > Zune or Cayman > Camaro.
besides in the commercial blender sector Vita-Mix is the biggest company anyway, just like Apple is the biggest company in premium computer market and Porsche the biggest company in sports cars market.

i'm glad you can afford it. i can't. i tried it and really liked it but the price is too much. i would certainly be using it if my budget allowed. by the way i am referring to whole hemp seeds - not hemp protein. i use seeds for the essential fatty acids, not protein.
