After a long 3 months or so, it was dropped yesterday and I immediately went to seasoning and firing it:

Options:
Stainless side tables
Stainless rod grates
Dual front loading
Dual stack
Dual thermometer
Split grates
Stainless griddle (half)
Large handle from hog cooker
It is an absolute unit, I don't have room to keep any other grills with this but I am very limited on space. It is not the width that is somewhat alarming when you see it, it is the height. I'm thinking about removing the casters to drop the height a bit.
That being said, I love it so far. We griddled vegetables and a whole salmon last night (no flip, slid for indirect to cook the top). Two rib eyes were also seared for the feast.
I am now running a brisket flat and 3 racks of st louis.
The functionality of the grill is everything I was imagining in my head, being able to slide racks left and right along with servicing the drawers has been awesome. Fuel consumption is obviously higher and it isn't clear yet if I can shut it down to leave coals like I do with the kettle.
Jeff and Rachel are a pleasure to work with. I have two issues but I think we will be able to resolve them (grid wider on grates than expected, can't put charcoal pan in top slot).
Thanks to all of you for helping get me here.
I hope this helps folks on the fence. Happy to answer any questions.
