I've got the 700 and like it a lot. If you want a lot of smoke just put it on the lowest temp. If you want easy, this is it. Dial up the temp, put in the two temp probes that it comes with and let it go. My wife uses it all the time. She just calls me to ask what temp to put it on. And it holds 40lbs of pelltets, so you can set it and let it go for a long time.
