Made a tiny scratch(s) in my throttle body. Is this gonna be an issue ?

So trying to learn how to do things on my own car wise and saw some stuff about cleaning throttle bodies so decided to do that cause why not. Showing before and after photo. I was dumb and wanted to clean it more with the flap open, took a pliers and put some paper towels around the end to open the flap and I must have slipped out and nicked the plate. Didn’t even realize it till looking at my photos later… 🤦🏻‍♂️ put everything back together and have driven around since today and the car which is a 2019 Chevy Cruze 1.4 @117k miles seems to be running fine. I’m just wondering if my dumb mistake is going to cause myself any issues with that down the road or if I’m just over thinking it. Also I know it could probably of gotten more clean but I didn’t want to take it fully off at the moment and i wasn’t able to get a good wipe on those bigger buildup spots in the after photo

Hey!
Debating between the two with the sale going on currently. My old traeger tailgater had the vents in the back of the hood so I have no experience with a smoke stack. Is a stack that much better to warrant the extra 2-300? I’ve also never used a smoke box is that something I would really regret if I went with the byb? For context we’re also a family of 2 currently with finances parents being over for dinner often and the occasional bigger party of guests to cook for.
I just can’t decide which to get
