It seems most agree that the difference is worth having one; but I'm hearing that some drinks require a blender. How do you know which drinks have to be blended & which should be mixed? My rule of thumb is that anything with ingredients (or ice) which need to be broken down/liquefied should be in a blender, a Boo Loo, say. You can get away w. a blender in lieu of a top-down mixer, but your tolerance for error is SO.MUCH.NARROWER.
