Man --- I didn't catch the 'SPX' part of when you said you were going to pick up 'the four burner' --- I had thought you were going for that LX that was posted....
But --- DAMN!!!! - Nice score!!! That is an impressive unit ---- waaaaay overkill for what you actually need, but should make others really excited. Lighted knobs --- cool but why? Weber connect --- OK, if you're not set up with probes I can see it - gotta wonder what weber charges for replacement probes and what aftermarket ones would work.... And a gas grill you need to plug in just to make it smart? That just seems silly. At least it looks like weber FINALLY put some decent casters on the grill.
I would think the coolness factor would wear off pretty quickly once you realize it doesn't really do anything better/differently than your LXs or X000s and you really don't need all that space --- I'd feel so bad just cooking one or two burgers or brats on that. I'd still be going to a two burner for the daily cooks and that beast would get used less than my WSM (which I go out of my way to justify using!!!). To me --- thats a 'look at me, I have more money than brains and I still can't cook worth a damn' grill that doesn't stir the soul nearly as much as the classics and comes at a far too hi of an opportunity cost. Unless you steal it like you did![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
