OK, I never thought I'd join the ranks of pellet poopers, but the price was right and I couldn't help myself.
There was a Big Horn Pellet Grill SRPG1093, Pit Boss 820 Deluxe and a Traeger Lil' Tex Elite sitting side by side. So I was able to compare them somewhat. Gauge thickness on the Pit Boss and the Big Horn beat the Traeger hands down. Cost wise, the Big Horn was where my money's at. The Big Horn and the Pit Boss look to me like they may be made by the same company or manufacturer in China because they were so similar in everything. Except the Pit Boss has an upper rack. I don't know about electronics though. So far, just testing mine out on hot links, everything seems to work OK. Tomorrow I'll smoke a chicken and take some pics.
The only thing that worries me is it doesn't look as though there is a service facility in the US.
