Given Canehdianman's post I'm thinking about dropping the temp and time. I like my meat rare, but the crowd may not.
Maybe I move to 133 and sous vide Saturday at noon for 24 hours? Or less? I worry that the amount of meat won't cook through the centre to 133 within even 24 hours.
And I understand the "too tender" comment, I've done some steaks in 3 1/2 to 4 hours and it was almost too soft.
The roasts were $25 combined. A rib roast would have been more than 4 times that.

I'm echoing my earlier post here, but I'd go for 18-20 hours, more than that and the texture will be off.
Water is a crazy good conductor of heat, I believe it conducts heat about 25x better than air, so the middle of your roast will be 133 in a few hours.
