I don't use propane grills but Cook's Illustrated did a test back in 2010 and pronounced the Weber Spirit 210/310 winner in the mid priced category.

Highly Recommended - Winner
Weber Spirit
A strong performer from Weber and just the right price. Front-to-back two-burner configuration allowed varying heat levels over the 350 square inches of cooking surface. Chicken thighs and steaks developed good crust when seared, and thick eggplant planks browned evenly over every point on the grill. Extra features include a built-in thermometer and attached side table. If you need more cooking surface, and have a little more money to spend, we also recommend the three-burner Weber Spirit E-310 ($498)
HTH!
I had one of these and it was not good. Previously I had Webers that I loved. I bought this one in Florida and within three years the cabinet was totally rusted out. The doors and the back panel literally fell off. The grill part was OK, but I think they must have sourced the cabinet from China. Will never buy a Weber again.
Weber is a big sponsor of Cook's Illustrated, so do the math on that review!
