You are about to start a holy war;-) But, it basically boils down to front (N/S) gives you a right side shelf, and maybe better zoning. E/W better rotisserie.
Found this down the street, so I wheeled it home

Not sure on the spirit SE, but I think it is 32000 BTU, and the E310 is 38000.
East West vs North South burners, what Joe said.
Here's an old review of the 310
Weber Genesis E-310 Gas Grill Review
The Genesis E-310 was the starting point for Weber's mid-line Genesis gas grill series which was replaced by Genesis II. Read our review to learn why Genesis is one of the most popular grills in the USA, appearing in backyards coast to coast and earning our AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Award.

I'd keep both
Thanks. I was excited about the review, but looks like it just lists out the details. I was looking for the “Made in USA” mark/note on the grill but I couldn’t find it. Lots of Spanish (and English) but it would be a bonus if this was made in USA.Not sure on the spirit SE, but I think it is 32000 BTU, and the E310 is 38000.

lol, yeah, I want to and plan on keeping both. I was supposed to get rid of my non Weber grill when I found the Spirit, but that’s still with me. Ha
Looks like the Spirit SE is at 36,000 an this Genesis is at 38,000, so a little more, but is probably pretty equal based on the cooking size.

I put one together for my late sister when it was brand new. Her husband was out of town on business and she asked me to set it up. The term "Made in USA" is a VERY loose translation LOL. Every box (component) I unpacked, and installed said Hecho en Chine. Basically Made in USA should have read "Packaged in USA" because that is all they did

There has been a lot of "great grate threads" lately. The consensus is that Quilmetal are quite good. I personally would go with them.
Yeah, RCP grates are a lot higher too. The 9mm QM grates are enticing at around $100. Or I can pickup their 7mm ones for about half that price.
I was able to find Weber grates, 7mm for about that same price, $100 or so.

I don't think it starts a war I have a C do no rotis if you do E/W the rotis is better. I prefer N/S the C is the first E/W grill I ever had the N/S was better for zoning if that is what your after. I won't get rid of my C it works fine and there are only 2 of us but if it melted on the deck I would have no issues going back to N/S providing you could find one in good shape and I know a fair amount of people who take care of their Weber's that have no rusting issues on the bottom including my next door neighbor.

If the grates are solid, and just CI (not porcelain coated) just wire brush them real good, coat with cooking oil and do another quick high heat burn. Cast iron is cast iron. Once it's sanitized, and the rust scraped off it's good to go.
Yeah. Not bad. There was a 10% off coupon the other day, I was a tot use that too.
