I'm a big fan of ceramic kamados. I started out with a Vision (from Costco) and later upgraded to a Primo Oval XL. I'd buy my Primo again in a heartbeat but whatever kamado you buy you'll love it.
Here are the Pros of the Primo as I see it:
1. I really like the versatility of the oval shape.
2. With the different accessory rack you can set it up with 4 different temperature zones during the same cook.
3. With fire box divider in I can cook on just half of it. Makes it kind of like a smaller kamado. Plus I can gat a round D.O. in on one side and not worry about it overlapping the fire zone.
4. Made in the USA. (If that's important to you)
Cons as I see it:
1. Cost. You'll find that they run anywhere from an extra $300 to 700 depending on which accessories you buy.
2. Dealer network isn't as extensive as the BGE.
Here's a few pics of mine in action that will show you the versatility of the oval shape. It's an Oven:

I'm not sure why the one pic is so large as I tried resizing it 3 times but you get the idea. :becky:
