Planning to buy a BGE

I've been using an offset smoker for a while now but I've had some gripes about it.  I bought it at Walmart and had to modify the design of it even during the first week of ownership.  The smoke was leaking from the fire box and it was difficult to lock-in the temperature.  I've had this offset smoker for several years but I believe it is finally time to upgrade to a Big Green Egg.

I've been researching ceramic grills ever since I bought that offset smoker.  I used to subscribe to a pepper and BBQ magazine which would have advertisements for the Primo brand.  It seems that both Primo and Big Green Egg have a loyal following but I think there may be slightly higher following for the egg which means there are more resources online.  I think the biggest difference is just the shape.  The Primo brand is oval which should provide greater flexibility.  However, I really only envision cooking either direct or indirect during a single session so I won't need an oval design to allow for both at the same time.

Soon enough, I'll not only be a ChileHead but also an EggHead.
