Ok, does anyone here own a big green egg or other Kamado grill? Are they worth the expense? I have mentioned this before but I recently moved into a house and out of my apartment and still working on my grill set up at the new home where I have lived for about 2 months. At my beach house, I own a weber kettle grill, a gas grill and a weber smoking mountain. The house I bought is a brownstone in Brooklyn so it has limited amount of outdoor space and can't see replicating the multiple grill set up I have at the shore. Here is a picture that shows about the size of the yard -

While, not big it is a huge bonus to have any personally owned out door space where I live. Of course having a 500 acre park a block from the house is a huge bonus (prospect park).
Given size limitations I think a gas grill is out as i currently use it the least at the shore and mostly use it when I need to churn out burgers and dogs a few times in the summer. Currently, I only have a weber grill which was my first purchase after buying the house but do want to think about the set up and having been considering a big green egg as a replacement. My other weber grill at the shore is showing its age so would just bring the newer one done there. I do think that a weber kettle is best piece of grilling equipment I have used and I learned to smoke on one before buying the WSM and have been doing so since we moved in about 2 months ago. Would love folks advice on getting a big green egg or other kamado grill.
Any other options to look at other than big green egg? Are there any limitations owners of those have seen? Should I keep my Weber kettle as well?
Thanks for any and all advice.
P.S. smoked pork shoulder this past weekend came out great. Friends were coming over for late lunch so put it on about 4 a.m. and pulled it around noon at when registering between 185 and 190. Did my homemade BBQ sauce and got rave reviews including a bunch of comments about better than many of the new BBQ shops showing up in NYC (which I have found to be over rated) compared to what I can churn out after 15 years of smoking.
