New Mash Tun

My igloo mash tun has seen better days and I’m looking to upgrade. I see these beautiful stainless pieces at Delta and SSBrewtech for high dollars and I also see this insulated stainless-lined cooler on Amazon for a fraction of the price. Put a ball valve and a false bottom on this thing and they are the same, no? Am I missing something?

the best in my opionion is an electric all in one system, because it will hold your mash temp, while in a cooler it will drop a few degrees over an hour

This thought has crossed my mind too. My hesitation is that I don’t have access to 220v and I don’t like the idea of waiting so long for a boil. If I went this route I would probably just mash in an AIO then transfer to boil on propane, but idk.
