I was looking Phantom Prestige 500 versus the Prestige 500. I'm not really interested in the smart features since I want to use my own probes. The main feature difference that I am interested in is the cast stainless steel grates.
The Prestige 500 is $2,099.00 and the Phantom Prestige 500 is $2,649.00. That is a $550.00 price difference. If I were to buy the cast stainless steel grates as an accessory, they would cost $798.99. If you were interested in the cast stainless steel grates, then the phantom is a great deal.
My question is has anyone used both the stainless steel and the cast stainless steel grates? How was the before and after performance? I've only found reviews online of people who like the cast stainless steel grates, but I have not been able to find a good comparison.
