I've got to agree with a-t-s' comment on the pk.
I've seen many videos with that one was actually taken back a little by the price for what you get. Personal opinion.
The Napoleons are some very nice, high quality made grills. Now, I've only read about them and watched vids, but if I had the extra income, I would definitely invest in one of their coal grills.
Money aside and no object, Kamodo Kamodo. Hands down.
I do have a Uds that I built a few years back and it's my go to smoker. I've ran it for over 17 hours before on an 8lb bag of lump. I actually have just recently starting using the weber for low and slow because I want to learn. It's working very well, especially since the 26r came along.
I've got a young family though, so for me the Webers are it. Such a great grill and affordable for my budget. I can have a small hobby that's not expensive and have found some cool grills and met some cool people.
It's pretty neat that all those articles you linked listed Weber's so high! It just goes to show a great product doesn't have to be "over the top".
