Some consulting is being done for the manufacturer... My dad is getting a huge Frontgate grill at about 1/9th the retail price. I am leaning toward going a year with eggs and seeing how that goes, and taking more time to design and build a towable.
When I started barbecuing, I was happy with my chargriller (added a second, too). I still like them, and I liked that I got to play with the fire. I've gotten pretty good at knowing how long the fire is going to pump out the right temps, etc, and thought the set it and forget it types would be no fun.
Now I can see that setting up something at 10pm and just going to bed would be a good thing. I don't mop, so it wouldn't do anything but allow the food to cook without me interrupting anything, and I may decide all I need in the long run will be BGEs... though there's still something about designing and building a cool stick burner!
