This was an upgrade from our very old Genesis II. Very even cooking- almost set it and forget it!  I really like the size of the grilling surface and the orientation of the burners (our previous Genesis II had three burners that ran side to side). I can see how indirect grilling will be much easier. Changing out the burners is a bit of a messy process but to have all the other options (only have the griddle insert but plan to get others) in one grill is a game changer. Great onboard storage.
