For the 400-500 dollar range you can't beat the Weber, it's a proven contender...
The Vermont Castings are still pretty solid, although I don't have as much trust in them as I used to.
You certainly don't need to spend a grand to get a good grill, but the warranty on the top stuff is pretty nice.
The unit I just bought has lifetime on all stainless components, which is like 98% of the grill...I hope this will last me for some time.
