That's what it boils down to, isn't it? Many stick burner owners do it that way cuz they love building and tending the fire, and don't mind spending the hours of labor involved in smoking a hunk of meat. I'm old too...and feel like I've found a great compromise between flavor and convenience...
The P&S was the one on your list that I'm least familiar with. I haven't heard much about them...but what I have heard has been positive. And that "fire cage" sounds intriguing. If it will do what they claim, it solves the problem many people have with pellet cooking.

Hello Bristol0117!
Sorry you haven't had any responses before now - sometimes questions do get overlooked. Hopefully my response isn't too late to help you.

He won't need a gym membership...he'll be getting his heavy lifting in by lugging this pit around! :emoji_sweat:

After a really cold morning, I spent some time in the shop this afternoon, after it warmed up out there. I've reached the point where it was time to get these 2 boxes joined, and was excited to get on with it!
First off, I got everything leveled, squared and plum. The hydraulic lift cart...
