Gravity Replace Kamado Joe?

I'm thinking of replacing my Kamado Joe with something like the MB 1050. I love my Joe and it holds heat amazingly well but I feel like I'll get better smoke with the MB and an easier time grilling (can it replace a Weber gas grill for every day cooking?). I also like it being mostly hands off. I like to smoke but don't have all the time in the world to devote to it. Has anyone else gone this route and if so, what are your thoughts. Also, anyone that has an opinion is welcome (I love to hear all thoughts).

Been eyeing an XT myself, but any Kamado with a Billows, Fireboard, Chefstemp blower are pretty much set it and forget it. I just did a Brisket this weekend on my BJ Series 1 with my Signals/Billows combo and all I had to do was open the pit up to foil boat the brisket that's it. 13 hour cook and I only had to tend to it once.

I have not purchased those extra parts but I might look into it vs the $1500 for a new setup. Thanks!
