Drum with a BPS kit and a bag of KBB = $200
WSM = $400
The differences are minor.

Differences are minor? au contraire mon fraire....just the fact that the BP can grill, sear, you can set the upper level up to indirect and direct...plus I've set mine up to easily cook pizza with the basket even at the upper level. You can also direct cook really good with the basket on the bottom and both sliders open give so much air it's kinda like grilling from a distance. The BP can cook in so many different ways than the WSM the differences are way major imo.
I promised my bride and one Moderator I would never participate in this discussion again. I am biased and my humor does not translate well. That being said, I really enjoy the topic. I just wish you had waited til later in the day (when several Bretheren have partaken in adult beverages) to begin.
Thanks for posting, and I shall check back later in the evening.

I would ask the WSM People, have you had your WSM going for 20+ hours on one load of fuel? I'm a weber fan boy through and through, 6 or 7 kettles of various sizes now (don't tell the wife). For the money I spent, the UDS is the best bang for the buck hands down.
I think a WSM dreams of being a UDS!!!!! WOW, you must just be wanting to stir up a hornet's nest and sit back and watch the fireworks. A UDS is much more flexible and useful than a WSM.
1) Is capable of super long cooks, with very little attention required ( which is his main complaint about his WSM).
2) Is a fuel miser.
3) Can slow smoke or grill, if built to do so.
A WSM only wishes it had the capabilities of a UDS! :laugh:
Wow! I didn't realize I pulled the pin on the proverbial BBQ grenade and rolled it down the hallway! Even funnier is that 16Adams saw this one coming hours in advance. Keep the comments rolling - one thing's for sure, there's clearly no answer forthcoming!
