Analysis Paralysis

Hi. Birthday is coming up and time for a pellet grill upgrade. Currently using a Pit Boss 850 and like it. Just taking it to my camp. Grill there died. I purchased this one used 3 years ago and fell in love with the pellet grill experience and flavor. I use it as a grill pretty much weekly. Sometimes twice a week and it does a good job. I smoke once or twice a month and it does ok.

So I am looking for something similar size. Great at grilling and better at smoking than my pit boss.

I have it narrowed to Recteq Deck Boss, Camp Chef and Weber Searwood.

After watching YT reviews it appears is should go with the Searwood. (Reviews rave for this)
A few negatives from my point of view
Sizing. Standard is too small, XL is too big. It averages 3 of us I cook for
It comes without shelves, sooo I have to spend a couple extra hundred dollars on shelves that should be there.

Important for me is a sear(my PB is acceptable with the sliding grate), reliability, holding temp, winter use.

So do any of you have similar use patterns and recommendations.

Thank you
