Machine choice help please Sous Vide Supreme or Demi?

In the Getting Started with Sous Vide Forum
Just getting started and interested in SV cooking. Not sure which machine to go for - we regularly entertain, and there's usually 4 of us round the table, though sometimes 6 of us in total. There is quite a price difference between the two machines - yet the physical dimensions are very similar. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. David

I have the demi as I wanted to try SV cooking before committing to a greater expense. It is not large enough to cook for 6 people IMHO. I'll be buying a PolyScience SV Professional once I have absolutely exhausted the possibilities of the Demi but I would not recommend it as it really cannot cook that much and if you fill it with too much, it cannot maintain the same temperature throughout. Hope this helps.
I have the demi. There's only two people in my household, however whenever we use it, we cook enough for leftovers throughout the week. So I think it could possible feed 4 people. I think it depends on how often you plan to cook sousvide, and obviously how much your family eats. It can easily cook 6 chicken breasts at once. We also cook large bags of veggies.

I debated between the full size and the demi as well. If you're able to shop from costco.com, they have a full sousvide demi kit which includes a vacuum sealer and bags for an affordable price. Since I am still new to sousvide, I wants to get a full setup without investing too much money before deciding if I really liked to cook sous vide.
