You are on the wrong coast. I would sell my plastic performer for this in a heartbeat. your price is great. good luck.

What is the consensus? Is this thing worth the cost?

Thank you everyone. Im keeping my eyes peeled for some sort of promo to purchase now. In another thread someone noted the WSM 18.5 going for $224 but my local Home Depot doesnt have any in stock.
