Between the one touch gold and a performer besides the table?

There are some early and current models that are stripped down but essentially most performers have a thermometer on the lid, top vent plastic tab, lid bale, charcoal baskets, charcoal bin, gas assist tool holders, and grate holder.

A comparable "OTG with a table" is the old style One-Touch Platinum- which has a lid bale, tool holder, and table with nothing else.

The most comparable one to this is the current performer silver which is cheesily built, imo.

the height advantage. the performer (newer) is several inches higher than a OTG

the performers with gas assist are an even better upgrade
