We are happy to have you!  You're quite a pro, but hopefully, we'll get you using your machine in EVEN MORE WAYS!  :-)My first question is what is the difference between the 5000 and the 5200?

For the most part, they perform the same.  The 5000 does not have a BPA-free container (that can be guaranteed BPA-free, but I was never concerned about using my 5000 container as it takes REALLY high heat to pull the BPA out of polycarbonate.  The 5200 has soft-grip handles, and a new, easier to remove lid.  The motor in the 5200 is made in Switzerland, and runs cooler, but not faster.  That's about it.

Second: When using the dry container to make cornmeal, I have to sift it through strainer and I do get pieces that don't get chopped. Any tips for preventing this or lessening it?I'll have to defer to (she makes a lot of grains in the VM).  I've made a lot of corn meal in my VM and blending longer does make a finer meal, and get the pieces smaller, but I've always had a few stray bigger pieces.

Third: Is there a shelf life for whole wheat kernels? I have some in a bag in my cabinet that is more then 6 yrs old.I absolutely have to defer to on this one.  How are they stored (preserved?)

Here is a Google search for, " shelf life of wheat berries " http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=shelf+life+of+wheat+berries & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8

Fourth: Is the VitaMix recommended for grounding/chopping meat such as beef or pork?Sure is!!!https://www.vitamix.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content & view=article & id=83 & Itemid=99  (video #48)
