Thing is, i like features of both:

On the Weber, i like how solid it feels, the lid is really nice and heavy which i like, its got a built in gas guage, its a deeper BBQ which i like as well. It has 9mm Stainless Steel grates as well.

On the Napoleon, the lid design is smart( half lid so you dont lose as much heat when opening), it does have cast iron grills which im not huge on, but it also comes with a rotissere and infared burner. Its a slightly larger BBQ (the grilling surface is the same but its longer on the counter sides) which im not a huge fan of, it doesnt have a fuel guage but has Jet fuel lighters on each burner which is a big plus. With the rotissere, you dont have to take out the grills which is nice, on the Weber you would have to.

Ive grown up using webers so i know they are good, im just sort of on the fence, i know they are both great, but neither one makes it a MUST buy over the other.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have the Napoleon p500rsib with the blue lid and the stainless grills. I like it a lot. My girlfriends Weber is definitely hotter, but the right to left burners and the smaller size are big disadvantages to me. The front to back allows you to better create heat zones and indirect cook. Warranty is a toss up between them really. Mine was just under 1400 but natural gas. The side infrared searing station is awesome
