First time owner of a Weber BBQ. We are very happy with this grill, none of our past grills compare to this one. Solid and very well designed. Just to compare, the burner elements are deep down and just far enough to not burn your meats and avoid any flare-ups alongside with the metal plate designs makes it a pleasure to grill...compared with some other grills where the burners are totally right under your grill rack and flare ups are uncontrollable. 
The grease pan, the way it slides out is so easy to reach and clean. The temperature gage is very accurate and love the propane tank mounting mechanism the way it reads gaz capacity by it's weight.
Definetaly worth buying!
