How does the vita prep 3 compare to the a3500? i’ve been googling for this answer but haven’t gotten a good one so i figured i would ask here

Is a very tough comparison because they are very different. Prep 3 is a workhorse, 3 horse power and has a 5 year warranty and that's huge since it is built to work in a commercial kitchen . It has an amazing cooling fan at the highest speed and can do many jobs back to back without having to let it cool down. There are manual controls-no bells and whistles but its amazing how fast it gets the work done ! (I have tried numerous blenders) A3500 has wireless connection and pairs with your phone and has 5 program settings and has 10 year warranty but it has 2.2. horse power and for me the higher horse power coupled with the cooling fan was very important . Prep 3 is 20.3" High and A3500 is 17" high, so that might be a factor if you plan to keep it on the counter top.

Does this need a separate dry container to grind flours? Which models of dry containers fit Prep 3?

It best to use a dry container for flour. I use the same dry container I used for a the vitamix I bought seven years ago on my new Prep 3.

What does this blender come with ? Tamper included ?

Includes (1) tamper, (1) blade, (1) cap... Do yourself a favor and add a sprocket, blade and a cap to your order so you have them as backups. Commercial operations like mine will require those. You will enjoy it, its a beast.
