My wife and I and her siblings are planning on getting her Dad a gas grill for Father's day (probably Father's Day-slash-birthday). He's always been a charcoal fan, but the last couple years has begun pining over having a gas grill. With all of us either in college or just out, we don't want to do more than about $300. We've been looking at Weber because of the great reputation, but of course for our price limit the Genesis line is out leaving us with the Q and Spirit. We don't need the portability factor of the Q, and the Spirit looks like it delivers more area and BTU than the Q for the money (and wouldn't require buying an adapter hose and cart). Looking at Amazon, it still has great reviews overall, but a couple complain that it is flimsy and below-Weber grade in many respects. But I would still suspect it would be a better buy (primarily qua long term investment) than other brand's "entry level" (lol-ish) grills. Any thoughts?
