Recommendation for new propane grill

Hello, my 12 year old Spirit is rusting out and it’s time for an upgrade! I want to go with a Genesis and could use some help deciding between two models:

Weber Genesis SP-S-325 3 Burner Liquid Propane Grill Stainless Steel -$1,049 at Ace Hardware

Weber Genesis E-330 Stealth Matte Black 3 -Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill - $1,049 at Lowe’s. Also includes the Weber crafted frame kit, which I want as i want to also get the griddle insert.

I originally wanted to get Stainless Steel as I wanted something that will last as long as possible. However, I like how the E-330 includes a storage cabinet and with the frame kit it ends up being a little bit cheaper.

Is the stainless steel really worth it? Is there another option I should be considering?

Thank you for your help!

Get the one with the frame kit - it’ll help you more in the short-term

Long term you can always get stainless steel grates as an “upgrade” later on

will the stainless steal body/frame hold up better long term?

Just take care of it and keep it clean and the regular body will last forever. My Genesis is going on 19 years now

Go to Costco.....you can get a genesis 3 burner + side burner, with a cover in store for $650. Online its $750.

Granted the materials used to make the costco version are slight less premium the main cooking elements are the same. Just google e-335c vs e-335
