I purchased the Performer Deluxe model after seeing it on sale a while back. My previous grill was also a Weber but the grill only version on legs. I had wanted to buy something with a table/tray surface and this worked out really well for that. I'd never used a propane starter assist on a grill before and it's pretty awesome. I prefer charcoal for flavor but the propane makes lighting the charcoal super easy. My wife liked it so much that she started cooking some of the burgers/other items too (for 10+ years it was mainly me). On a side note - I had some damage on delivery from a big box store and Weber quickly replaced all the items and it looks great now.
