Opinions on Kamado cookers

[jonumberone]

I've had my eye on a Kamado cooker for some time.
I've been toiling with a BGE purchase, but always get aggravated because I feel like I'm being nickel and dimed.
Fast forward to yesterday, I once again stumbled across this in Costco.

The in-store price was $559 + tax
From what I can find on line, it is the same size as a large egg, and has the same ceramic thickness.
unlike the Egg, this price includes the "nest", side shelves, and a cover.
From what I can tell from my personal inspection, the fit and finish was as solid as the Egg, with the exception of the side shelves, which I thought were a little flimsy.
Most of the reviews I read were positive, but the big question that looms is longevity.

So, any thoughts on this vs the Egg?
Should I save a few bucks, or go with the tried and true BGE?
Any other Kamado style cooker you would recommend?

Thanks in advance!
