Waiting for the reviews from the bloggers to hype it up on why I need it.

I don't think you need it.  8) Your cooker projects have so much soul and I know you inspired the Weber R&D team.

No.  I can't afford the pricing and between the 22" kettle and the 22" WSM as well as a camp stove and a large propane single high BTU burner (charcoal means no sideburners, so that's how I worked around that problem), my outdoor cooking needs are already well taken care of.

If I had that kind of money to spend, what I'd most likely spend it on would be putting up a gazebo with a nice patio set under it to better enjoy cooking and eating outside with the the grill and smoker I have now.

i'll never buy one at msrp unless I win the lottery. i'd like to have one since I kinda dig on the kamados and am a weber fan, but msrp is too rich for me.

^^^ What Mr bill said.^^^
I like it, but don't need it.
I don't have that much cash tied up in my whole collection. Way too many things that I would need to spend that money on first.

No even if I could afford one. I would buy a ranch kettle if I was even thinking about spending some big coin.

@pbe gummi bear the first thing I thought when I saw the diffuser plate was how awesome that could work in a 26er.  I thought you could place it on a couple of charcoal baskets...it could be sweet.

Totally. Some pizza pans and 2 dollars of hardware is all you would need! In fact, I made a similar diffuser for my Traeger this weekend out of a stainless 1/2 size hotel pan and it works extremely well. Cost me less than $15.

I think it looks kinda wierd with the table...

I also think I could buy a 26 & a 22 and put one in the other... Then buy a Keg and 100 lbs of meat.

I was always a buy the research the hell out of every new product kind of guy and not very handy.   
I can't recall getting the satisfaction that I've received from restoring a cheap wooden table I found at a yard sale to use as a grill prep station and then the fixing up of the 2008 Kettle that was banged up and now the Craigslist Performer that was purchased for $75 and cleaned up real nice.

I don't begrudge anyone that lusts after the SCG but a $800 plus grill/smoker not what my passion for BBQ is about and WKC and the obsession with checking in here probably has a lot to do with that.

No way to justify that price. Maybe in 10 years when they are "cheap" on craigslist...

No, I would not buy at MSRP.
It is an intriguing design, but with what I already have it is not needed nor wanted.
