Well, I don't actually have either, but I've cooked on a 18" WSM and I do own an ECB, which (modified) is VERY similar, performance wise. I also am storing (and using) Dan Chambers' Big Steel Keg, which is similar (I think) to a Akorn since it's an insulated steel kamado style cooker. I also storing/using his LBGE.

I LOVE that BSK. LOVE IT.

That thing will get SCREAMIN hot.
Unless I need to do a lot of meat at once and use the UDS, I've been using the heck out of the BSK and the BGE. I just don't use my kettles much since I've been able to play with the kamados.

If I was making the choice you're making, I'd go with the Akorn since it's different than anything you have right now. Of course, I also already have the ECB and UDS.

What EVER you choose....don't look back. Make the most of it. I'm sure you'll be happy with either.
