Prediction? Pain.

For years, I've been smoking and grilling on a plain old 22" Weber kettle grill. I use a Smokenator (http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/smokenator_tips.html) for the smoking, and have had consistently great results. Temperature control can be an issue on occasion, and it's not the kind of set up that will let me leave it unattended overnight or even for more than a few hours. But otherwise, I have no real complaints.
The other day, I was offered a lightly used, large Big Green Egg for $600. I think it retails new for around $850.
Any of y'all with BGE experience feel like sharing your thoughts? And is $600 fair for a used BGE, assuming the condition is indeed excellent as I've been told?
To give you context, I smoke much more than I grill, but even then, I don't do it every weekend. I typically smoke pork shoulders or briskets, though I do poultry and fish as well. Never had a problem with space on the Weber, whether I'm cooking just for my family (of 3) or for a group of people.
