The handles make all the difference in the world!! 2 years ago, I bought the Steelmade flat top for my outdoor grill. Without having to buy another bulky grill, I was able to get my flat top, and made a full breakfast the first weekend, then burgers for dinner. Having grown up in a short-order restaurant, this was super cool. Couple of downsides: 1) due to its size and weight, it was a chore to get it off the grill, scrubbed and put away. 2) if on the grill for a long time, the grill actually warped, but went back flat after it cooled. Well, that's not right. Then I saw the Made In with the handles... I actually waited 2 weeks to order it, thinking, wait, I already have a steel slab... I don't need another. But the gadget-girl inside me won, and I got it, and the first time we used it, what a game changer to pull it off the grill and clean!! I absolutely love it!!
