Deep in the MCS zone.
Currently have
Gas: Weber Genesis 330
Charcoal: Weber 22 Premium
Smoker: PBC
Toys: DigiQ, Thermapen thermometer, Lodge Griddle/Grill
Looking to acquire: SNS, and one of everything else
I like the removable water pan and the air flow looks better than the plus, but it seems the changes were made largely for mass production rather than quality improvements. 430 stainless steel is a lower grade (cheaper) and maybe more likely to rust over time. The change in to rivets also seems more like a cost saving/mass production choice that may not hold-up as well over time. I think I would get the original while you can if you want one....but that's just me.

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

I like the new base plate. A bit less impressed by the removal water reservoir. I would still lean towards the original or the plus for the better quality stainless steel.

My only concern is I have a lot of cheapskate friends with kettles, that balked when the price tag went from $89 to $99 (they just bundled in the shipping). Now the entry price going to $126 may be enough to slow sales to where they can keep up. I hope they keep getting orders at the same rate or faster, but for a lot of people, going above that $99 price tag is a magic barrier that will reduce sales opportunities.

Right, I am afraid this new price point may lead more to consider alternative "charcoal management" devices such as the vortex. My local buddy who was putting off getting a SNS for his Performer told me last night he is going to try to order the $99 one today, and if they are out, he is just going with the Vortex instead, which goes for $40 for a medium (the size recommended for a 22" kettle).
