Welcome, from NE Ohio!
To add to what Hub mentioned; when comparing the grill size, don't just look at the base sq. inches, as that can be a real fooler. Consider the shape of the lid as well; how much head room will you have, does the lid design allow for a second tier rack, etc. It makes a huge difference on what you can do and how much food will fit.
If you have the budget, take a serious look at MAK Grills. We've been a happy MAK owners since 2011. With their new FlameZone design, they are truly an all-in-one smoker/grill, and with a full upper rack they hold a lot of food (858 total sq. in cooking surface).
If budget is tight, Rec Tec is a fine cooker.
