Nearly three years later and we finally some extra cash to spend on a grill. Looking around at the newer products, I've read that Weber's switched to lower-quality 430 stainless for even their high-end grills, so it's looking like one of the Napoleon models is the best fit -- at least they still use 304 stainless, and though I can't afford the $4k+ for one with a stainless cart, they seem to have a great warranty that should cover any corrosion that does happen.

Bruno, how's your Napoleon holding up? Right now I'm leaning toward this Prestige Pro model (around $1600 from Amazon) with the infrared side burner.

The one concern I have is that conversion kits don't seem to exist for them (or any other Napoleon grills), which means I'm stuck if we move and need to change fuel sources in the future. (It seems like conversion kits exist for lower-end models but not as much for the higher-end, which seems counterintuitive to me.) Otherwise, the price and feature set seems ideal for us.

Anyone else familiar with any other high quality grills for under $2K?
