I just replaced a two year old Weber Spirit.  Mice got inside over the winter.  I liked the grill but wanted something with more heat for steaks.  This grill does the trick.  The searing station get's really hot and the grill marks are excellent.  I can't believe how much more heat this grill puts out.  The lid is very well insulated and really keeps the heat in.  The burners and drip design keep flare ups at a minimum.  

Very happy I spent the extra money.   The quality is worth it.
