Weber Genesis

I'm looking to upgrade from a charcoal grill to a gas. I've got a cheap Char Griller charcoal grill currently, that I really enjoy cooking on. Looking to switch to gas for a little more versatility. I'd like to be able to get home from work and throw some burgers or kabobs on the grill and have them done relatively quick.
My question, I guess, is what do you baws recommend? If I'm going gas, I'll probably go Weber. I've got a WSM for charcoal smoking and I love it. I'm basically trying to decide between the Genesis and the Spirit. Genesis has a slightly larger cooking area and a door for storage below the grill. Any of y'all have any recs? Pros and cons of Weber? I'd like to keep it in the $600 range.

For a gas grill, I have a Weber Spirit, about 1/2 the price of the genesis, and mine is 10 years old and doing great. I've replaced a couple of items on it for maybe $50 in 10 years, but I have it for when I want to use gas.
Weber is the answer, just how much you want to spend.

I have the Genesis in NG and love it. I have a 3 burner with the sear station and the side burner.

Weber makes great gas grills. If it was me, starting out, I'd get a Q series (in fact I did, my son has it now) - unless you know you need more area than that. I'm going to do an outdoor kitchen around a Weber Summit at Forever House.
If a Q is too low rent for you - if you're not going to move it much, I'd go with Genesis. If you think you might be hauling it around time to time, get a Spirit (but Q is a great grill for the money - the "gateway" Weber
).

On my second Weber gas. I have a Genesis three burner with porcelain cooktop. I use it all the time.
It's about 9 years old and the burner crossover tube is rusting out. I need to call and get them to send free replacement burners before 10 year warranty runs out.
Get the Genesis and enjoy!

On the 13th year of my Genesis Silber B. Replaced the cast iron grates and flavorizer bars once.

There was a thread on Spirits a few weeks ago, I think on the Food and Drink Board. Several comments from owners on pros and cons of 2 and 3 burner models, and comparison to Genesis. You might try to search out that one.

My Genesis Gold is almost 20 years old and going strong.
