This is a wonderful grill. I bought it primarily for the stainless grates and warming rack. The infrared burners are tremendous for searing. I was disappointed, especially at this price point that the light-up knobs are blue only instead of the blue and red. I feel also that it wouldn't eat into profits very much if this model came with the cast stainless grates. Buying this was almost as perplexing as buying a computer, as there are a lot of overlaps in the product line. I chose this based on my age, and whether I'll feel like assembling another grill ever again. I'm old. I figured the extra money will hopefully put me together with my final grill. Let's hope so.
