Weber or Broil King ?

Wizard!

I am planning to buy a Gas BBQ for home use, mostly family, but occasionally few friends.
Most people in Ireland use Weber, but I am from Greece and there Broil King are most popular.


I was about to get this one from Weber:
https://www.weber.com/IE/en/barbecues/gas-barbecues/genesis-ii-series/61001174.html?cgid=40#start=1



However it is not available in stock and it will be late July, and in that case we will miss most of the Summer. So I looked for alternatives in our price range (<1200e) and notice this one from Broil King:

What do you think? BK looks better with more features. Why Weber is (compared to features) more expensive? Am I missing something?

Weber are generally built to last and have a long lifetime (they also have a good brand name which can explain cost differences).

Recently moved over to outdoor chef (swiss made) and have found it very good.

Thank you for your reply.


Based on reviews I read, none of them is superior to the other, rather minor points for each in different fields. Looks like each country has its our preference on each.



I ended up ordering the BK mainly because it will be available in 2 weeks, while Weber says end of July and that is not ever sure.

Quoting myself here, as I am still waiting for the "two weeks" delivery after 1 month...
In fairness though, neither Weber has called me yet (I am in a waiting list)
