I have many friends that have very expensive BBQ grills and all of them do the same thing. A gas grill gives you quick control over the level of heat. A larger grill gives you more room to cook and the ability to cook various items at the same time at various temperatures. I have never been able to tell the difference in the cooking ability between really expensive grills and the good ol Char- Broil. This is a new design for me to cook on with the tubular gas delivery system so I was a little doubtful it would give a wide even distribution of heat. To my pleasure it works great and delivers heat evenly across the surface. I might swap out the gas regulator to give me a larger flame for those items I like a good fire char on but overall this grill is great. I dont care what the experts say about charred food being bad for you, i like the taste and eating food is more than just giving your body fuel, its all about the taste and pleasure of eating.
I also like the grill surface because its corrosion resistant and easy to clean. The heat registers are easy to take out to do a full cleaning and re-assembly is quick and easy, everything fits together well.
Initial assembly requires common sense and it helps to look at the instructions and pictures. Overall it went together easily and seems solid enough to last for 5-10 years. I'm a daily griller so its gotta be tough to last at my house.
The one downfall of this grill is the lack of a cover over the side burner. That was easily fixed by building a dual purpose burner cover/cutting board that gives me extra "counter" space on my grill for spices and a grillside board if I need to do any cutting while I cook.
