Sure. The main advantage I'm looking forward to is less drying out of meats and vegetables. Standard gas grills cook with hot air convection, which can take moisture away from your food. Using infrared radiation to directly cook the food means less dry air taking away the food's moisture, and because the flame is protected by the emitter plate (made of stainless steel on the Saber grills, though some units use ceramic tile) there are supposedly no flare-ups.

They're also supposed to preheat much faster, get to higher temperatures, and be more fuel efficient -- though I'm sure Saber's claim of 30% more efficient is overstated marketingspeak.
