I've got a Napoleon with the IR searing side burner and I also like it quite a bit. I would say my only complaint is it's pretty sensitive to the wind, a bit more than the rest of the BBQ.. if it's windy then I can't get quite the same surface of the sun heat I'd like, but other than that I like it. I never thought of toasting buns on it, will have to try that!

The one thing the Napoleon came with that made it for me was I didn't have to chose between easy to maintain stainless or better thermally cast iron grids.. mine has stainless grids that are the same size and weight as cast iron ones and I really like it.

But without those I probably would have got the Baron.
