Excellent pickup! You are going to love cooking on it! The cooking grate is stainless steel and should last quite a long time.
As for the leg, many of the new ones are like that I’m afraid. You’re correct about the socket placement. Some have received replacement bowls. Others have cut a little off of the front leg to compensate. Both of mine are like that and the only time it has ever been an issue was when I tried seasoning my large paella pan on it.
One of these days I’ll probably cut the legs a little to fit. 99% of the time it doesn’t bother me though.
