I have a large and the lack of space for smoking meat is annoying at times. If I get a large brisket, it barely fits and it over hangs the plate setter (ceramic insert for indirect cooking) which means parts of it are over direct heat. Longer racks of ribs are the same thing. You’re not smoking a large pork butt and a chicken and a couple of racks of ribs at the same time with it.
For similar money (remember, you’re gonna need to build a table and buy a bunch of accessories), you can get a nice pellet grill with a sear section on it. I have a buddy who has a nice Yoder and I’m constantly jealous.

While true, I can easily cook 3 racks of ribs or 2 8-10 lb boston butts on my large egg. That's plenty of food. If you need something more than that often than honestly none of the ceramics are good for you. I cook probably 15 butts a year and the large does great.
The XL takes a LOT more coals especially for long cooks than a large. Not a huge deal, but its very noticeable.
OP, you really need to figure out what you need most and buy that grill. No ceramic grill is perfect. It should last you 10 years if not 20 or more. I wouldn't go cheap, $400 over even 5 years for a better grill you will enjoy using is money well spent.
