I got the chance to look at one up close today.
It's definitely a great looking grill and I am looking forward to seeing the reputation for it grow as more people get their hands on one.
The good news is, my suspicions have been confirmed on a few things.
The outer bowl lower section is a 26.75" kettle.
So give them a year or so to distribute the new product, and I bet we can start getting that nice looking tripod as a spare part from Weber.
It might be too much to hope that they offer a "retrofit" kit for 26s, but it certainly looks like a possibility that we can eventually see a "Genesis" or "Spirit" version of this grill eventually.
