I purchased a 26" Weber Kettle to give me more space and cooking area when cooking for large groups.  I use a Weber 22" Kettle when cooking for my wife and I.  To date I have owned six different Weber products.  My only concern was the lack of quality control on the 26" kettle, it had many defects in the powder coating of the bottom part of the kettle.  I contacted Weber and sent pictures, they replace the parts immediately!  The only things I would change to  the Weber Kettle grill would be make the legs out of heavier wall material.
