Welcome to the forum.
If it's purely a financial decision, then go with the Rec Tec. They're a great cooker and you'll be happy.
If you want the best, and can swing a few hundred more $$, then the MAK 1 Star is even better. It's made in the USA, has more features, better quality metal, the best controller on the market (programmable & accepts 3 food probes), the choice of accessories is incredible; Griddle, Searing Grates, FlameZone (for direct grilling), & WiFi capable.
When comparing them, don't be fooled by the Rec Tec's apparent bigger size; The MAK 1 Star actually holds more food because it has enough head room for a full sized, fully useable, upper rack which doubles it's capacity (Rec Tec - no upper rack).
Both Grills offer great warranties, BTW.
