I'm so disappointed with the available covers and their current costs. I also was on the search for a new cover for my recently rehabbed Genesis. I ended up buying a Weber due to my local hardware store having the correct one sitting on the shelf. I think it cost $50 or so. Wow, I was disappointed when I opened it up. Supposedly it has a 3 year warranty, but I can't believe it will last that long. I'm concerned even installing and removing it as it is so thin that I'm afraid I'm going to get it caught on an edge and tear a hole in it.
I looked at the Classic Accessories line when I was shopping, but ended up giving the Weber a try because I thought the one I bought was the older heavy duty cover style that Weber used to make. Which model Classic Accessory cover did you buy (Ravenna, Hickory, or Veranda)? I'd be interested to see some real world pictures of what you bought.
