A Traeger bought from a neighbor that replaced it with a BGE. Used it for a season. Then I bought a BGE. I in turn sold the Traeger after another season because I used the BGE more. Not trying to sell anything or launch a personal attack on anyone, just like the BGE better.
Edit, addition: There are ceramic knockoffs on the BGE that I imagine work just as well and would cost a lot less. I just don't have any experience with any of them.

I have the Medium Traeger ($699 @ Costco) and love it. BGE fine for some but I like "Set it and forget it" nature of the Traeger. Ribs, bone-in Chicken thighs, and Brisket are flat-out EASY. Traeger is easy to clean (need to vacuum ash out of lower portion after every 8-10 uses), lots of different flavors of pellets available, great cookbook (and even more recipes online). I have a Blaze 30" built in grill I hardly ever use anymore, but not because it sucks - just easier to cook on the Traeger! Good luck with your purchase, for me Traeger all the way.
