Can't decide!

I fall into this line of thinking also.


BUT, I have to ask are you like me and tend to dwell on what you originally wanted even after buying something cheaper that probably does just as good of a job? Or are you the kind of person that takes a sort of pride in getting similar product out of a much cheaper device than the one you wanted at first?

If you're anywhere near like option A I'd save up and buy what you originally want. Otherwise you'll wind up buying again.

If you're like option B then go get your Akorn and get to cooking and be happy.

Unfortunately, I'm somewhere in between. I will dwell and eventually buy something else IF the product didn't meet my expectations. I usually research the crap outta things to prevent this.
However, I also like getting a similar product and take pride in saving money if it turns out to be a good product. In my opinion that's where the Vision comes into play. About half the cost of a large BGE or Primo but very good reviews from people who own them. I could say basically the same thing about the Akorn too though when compared to the Vision (and other kamados).

Are the ceramic cookers really pretty fragile? I don't mistreat my stuff by any means, but whatever I get will be moved around my patio quite often. The Vision on display at Sam's this summer was chipped in several spots inside the cooking area is why I'm asking (one chip in particular was about 2" long). But on display in Sam's lord knows who or what was playing with that thing!
