The stainless Charbroil models really aren't that bad, they last awhile. My girlfriend has that $239 one in the pic above. She got it 7 or 8 years ago and it still works great aside from the igniter.
I have the stainless $239 dollar one I bought used from Ryan here on Motown. We use it at least 3 times a week, unless I've got the smoker fired up, but I only do that on weekends. Anyway, back on point, it's a nice grill for the money..
