Congrats on your new machine and glad to see you in the forum!
I wouldn’t say the basic is for less intensive work really. It has a more restrictive temperature range and a little less power, but I’ve never heard of anything that keeps it from running as hard/long as any other model as long as you keep the ambient temp under control. FWIW, I’m in CA where it’s normally 90-100 degrees for several months of of the year and my air conditioning is able to keep things cool enough to where I rarely experience and temperature pausing. (It’s not uncommon for me to do 3 or 4 hour engraves a couple times a day.) I can’t imagine you’ll have any trouble with cutting dozens of blanks at a time. 
And according to GF, you won’t damage the tube by running at full power/100% which can be a thing with other tubes apparently.
