Go big or go home!! I love my Primo XL, can't beat it's versatility. BGE XL was my second choice. Got a screamin deal on the Primo and haven't looked back.

I don't have a BGE, but if I was committing the $$$ to it I would go XXL just because I will cook for up to 45 people two or three times a year (beef shoulder clod, pork shoulder, maybe chicken or fatty) and think that space wise, it would be the best for me. I know someone said somewhere else that you need a whole family to lift it, but if you are committing to one you will have a lot of room?
You'd be better off getting 2 XL for the price of that new XXL. I saw one at Ace and it was $4600, which means you could almost get 4 XL's for that price. And 2 XL's will give you even more grate cooking space over 1 XXL. Though the footprint of 2 XL's would be larger.
I wished my large was an XL, until I finally added an XL to the collection.
Weekly I cook for my family and usually whatever friends the kids have over. So I would say 5+. Monthly I cook for friends and neighbors so 4 adults and 6 kids. My 22.5" kettle is about right.
I like smoking on my WSM, but would be doing steaks, burgers, wings, whole chickens on BGE. I would also like to do ribs without trimming.
