Spirit E-210 - Is it worth it?

Never thought I would want a gas grill again, but I'm thinking now it would be nice to have during power failures and when I'm really being lazy enough to not want to fire up the Performer. My problem is I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that wouldn't be used that often, but I want something that will last and would like a sideburner, which automatically puts me in the $500 range.

On top of this a local store is selling all of their Weber grills at ridiculous prices and I already bought a Genesis E-320 as a wedding gift for my friend for $297 (should have kept this for myself as it would have been perfect). I think they are trying to get rid of their Weber line of grills as I saw a guy buy a Genesis Gold C yesterday for $347.

As of last night, they only have one left, which is a Spirit E-210 for $147. I like the fact that it is cheap and should last a while, but it is missing a side burner and only has two burners total. I guess my dilemna is, do I buy this grill and be happy with it, or will I always be wanting the side burner and extra burner inside?
 
Where do you live? If it is close by I'll drive up and buy that Genesis. Those are incredibly low prices.
 
They sold out of their Genesis' already and the only grill they have left is the Spirit E-210. Wish I could have bought two of those Genesis E-320 and kept one myself, but I got the last one.
 
If you're still looking Home Depot has the 08 Spirit E310 for $199 as a special sale this weekend through the eastern half of the country.

I couldn't resist and picked one up this morning to replace my Char-broil grill that's wearing out.

Yeah, bu they have been on sale since last fall because they have so many of them. ACE has the SP-320 (with stainless through out) on sale for $399 this week, the SW is a much better deal/for the price. Another choice. Most of the Genesis 310 are going for $699 (basic version) at ACE, though the Blue Genesis are going for $50 less (check with your ACE associate.) If they tell you a different price, they are lying (the Blues are $50 less, so a SS Blue genesis with side burner is $650, $50 less for not SS or side.
 
Thanks for the heads up Brad on the Ace sale. Do you know how long that goes for? The Spirit SP 320 is $449 and you can order it online with free ship to store. I might just jump on that.

Sale goes through until next Monday (04/06) though sometimes a owner will extend it. We sold out of ours in two days, got more Thursday.
