I have three REC TEC's and really like them.
I have a Bull, the Stampede and the Trail Blazer.
They are great grill and work well.
If I had to do it over, I'd get the Bull for all of them.
A 6 year warranty is pretty nice too.
Their customer service is rumored to be fantastic, I have needed it yet which is a good sign.
In my opinion Traegers done hold a candle to REC TEC's. I've had both and there is no comparison.
