I have had and used a Weber Charcoal grill for many years. It is hard to beat the flavors that the charcoal imparts. We are in the midst of a total kitchen tear out and remodel. We are basically living out of the basement with only rudimentary appliances. The down side of the charcoal grill is start-up time. Even with the propane starter and chimney, it takes a good 45 minutes. I decided to purchase the gas grill to speed things up since we use it a minimum of 2 times per day during the remodel.  The new grill has worked out wonderfully. Not only can I be up and running in 15 or 20 minutes, I can cook multiple dishes at one time. It is very efficient and the food is almost comparable to the charcoal taste. Using a small wood smoker brings the food to the next level nearing the charcoal flavor. I still have the Weber Charcoal grill on my deck however, I doubt that it will see much action.
