My family and I are buying a Weber charcoal grill for my brother as his b-day gift. I cannot make up my mind as to which one though. Everyone keeps leaning me toward the Performer. I cannot decide between one touch gold, platinum, and performer. My main question is - Does the slide away lid holder scratch the lid? Does the lid's resting spot in the slide away holder make accessing the grill difficult? As to the performer is the propane ignition a must have for 70 bucks? Thanks everyone.
