As an update: Yakima Valley gave me a refund on the compromised bag of Tahoma. They would have replaced it but they were out.
The Foodsaver is aces in my book. It took a while but the learning curve is easy. I had a problem with static electricity making the hops crawl up the sides of the bags until I switched from a plastic measuring cup to a stainless steel cup. I now have one pound each of Tahoma, Horizon, Glacier and Centennial in one ounce vac-sealed bags. Bagged like this, it takes up about three times the bulk of a vac sealed one pound bag. My little freezer in the garage will be nearly full.
I'm planning to brew a nut brown ale this afternoon using Brewers Friend software. The recipe projects an IBU around 43, ABV approx 6.6 and a nut brown color, OG 1.061 and FG 1.015. Does that sound right to you guys?
