Buckle up, this will be a long one 
So I have entirely more grills than I can use, and more importantly more than I have room for. On the small deck right now there is a performer, summit 420, summit 650, q3000, and an old silver b (I think) chassis that I turned into a cart. In storage I have a gold c, old 1000 and a recently gifted Genesis e310. I enjoy the older ones for sure, but those two summits really cook well. I won't give up the 6 burner, I use it way to often to rotisserie 2 chickens or a full turkey, and we have a weekly family gathering with 15 ish people and it gets USED. I kind of like having the matches set because I'm crazy, and both summits have new cook boxes and I've done a light restore on them otherwise. They were both free so I figured why not, and with the large gatherings I needed the space. The q is nice for a quick burger or two and it's the main grill in the winter months as it warms up fast even in near 0⁰ temps. Performer is a keeper, I love smoking a brisket on it. Now, I've never really wanted a griddle as my only grill but I really liked cooking breakfast on the griddle on the q200 I used to have and sold last year. I hadn't seen any full inserts for the 420 before and was thinking I would sell it and use the 310 since I could find full inserts for that one. Just as I made up my mind I'm seeing full inserts for the 400 now
What would you guys do? I know the summit is going to be less durable in the long run, but it sure looks sweet on the deck, and with the new parts it should last at least a while. The 310 is a nice copper one and in decent shape, I think I could clean it up, restore and it would look new. Thoughts?
