New Grill Suggestions

Looking into buying a new grill for the patio. Stumbled upon this grill at Lowe's the other day, and can't seem to shake it off my mind. Has anyone had any experience with it? Willing to recommend it?
Char Griller 6719 Series Chacoal Grill
Any other suggestions on grills that are in the same $300-500 price range?

Not that strictly, but would prefer.

Academy used to carry a brand called Oklahoma Joe. Similar to the other one posted above from Academy, but a little larger. Very solid grill if you can still find one.

the char griller has very good reviews on Amazon. It is also a smoker and grill so it is a good combination in one unit. Unlike what I have with five Webers - 1 gas grill, 3 charcoal grills, and a Smokey Mountain bullet smoker. I'm about to add to that by getting two 18.5" portable Weber Jumbo Joe's.
The only drawback I could see with Char Griller is cooking surface/area. I have cooked two large briskets (17 to 18) pounders at the same time on multiple occasions. I have also smoked six racks of ribs a few times on the WSM. A couple times using rib racks then I got another 22.5 cooking grate and place it upside down on the top grate like in the picture below. I can fit 2 racks of pork spareribs lying flat on all three cooking grates in the smoker.
The Char Griller while using the warming rack has 437 square inches of cooking surface. In comparison the 22.5 WSM with the two grates that come with it has 726 square inches of cooking space. But if you don't smoke for large groups of people the CG will work.
Inverted grates - not mine - just a picture I found on the web:

The Akorn is a nice introduction to Kamado cooking. I have one in the back with the Kamado Joe. You will be able to sear, smoke, bake, and grill on the Akorn. I would go with the Akorn unless you want to drop some money on a BGE, Kamado Joe, or Primo.
I'll be cooking whole chicken on the Akorn and 5 racks of ribs on the Kamado Joe tomorrow!
