I've moved up from the Fyra to the Koda 16. For those that don't know the difference, here are links to both...

I liked the Fyra, but felt it was too hit and miss to get a good pizza every time.

I liked the Fyra, but felt it was too hit and miss to get a good pizza every time.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the FYRA from my point of view:
Pros:
- well built, high quality
- does get super hot as advertised
- easy to light
- easy to keep lit
- true wood smoke
- very portable
- doesn't get hot underneath - safe
- attractive design
- cooks pizza fast
- reasonably priced
- great for searing meat - especially after sous vide
- does get super hot as advertised - sometimes too hot
- small interior limits pizza turning space - requires pizza to be close to flame
- has a front door limiting visibility - hard to see inside
- pellets need manual attention - not like a pellet smoker that has automatic control
- when dropping pellets into the feed tube, some bounce out onto the pizza stone
- difficult to raise or lower temperature
- messy - produces a lot of acrid smoka, soot, and creosote.
- very hot flames can shoot out of chimney when at full burn - can't burn under standard covered patio
- difficult to master
- expensive Ooni accessories
Pros:
- well built, high quality
- does get super hot as advertised
- easy to light
- easy to keep lit
- somewhat portable
- doesn't get hot underneath - safe
- attractive design
- cooks pizza fast
- easy to adjust temperature and/or quickly shut down
- large with open front - easy to see inside - easy to turn pizza
- no chimney - safe to burn under patio cover
- doesn't produce excessive smoke or soot
- large enough to place a small pizza close or far from the flame depending on need - less chance of rapidly burning the crust
- great for searing meat - especially after sous vide (I assume)
- no true wood smoke
- dangerous to light if not careful - a large flame burst out of the front upon ignition
- expensive Ooni accessories
- I've read reports that some people have issues with it staying lit - I haven't experienced this yet and I believe Ooni has some troubleshooting available for this
- only somewhat portable
