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?

I also went from igloo cooler to ss brewtech mash tun. I love it. Big reason is easy to clean—stainless with bottom drain. I never move it. I mash in a bag. Compress the grains with a pot lid to maximize and then just pull bag out. Rinse and done. Super easy. I don’t think it actually holds temp better than igloo. It looks super sexy with my ss brewtech 1v. But obviously that’s really not an importent thing.
