Charcoal bin only tilts out if you pull it out. If it bothers you that much, remove it like pbe gummi bear mentioned and use that area for other storage solution. For me it is always nice to have a performer with the table and a gas assist lighting even if I can pull up another kettle or table beside it.
If it came down to a space issue and I could keep only 2 stand alone kettle ( for me would be MT) vs 1 performer, I might go with 2 MT. It is hard to say and something I don't want to think about.... but don't follow the crowd, do what is right for you.
