I enjoyed using the 1050 as the cook itself was great (after I swapped out the controller for a fireboard pro). But it sucked build wise.
The XT looks to be better.
I hear good things about the char griller, similar concept.
I just scrapped my 1050 and will probably try a Camp Chef Woodwind Pro. But if the Masterbuilt XT really is that much better, might be worth it.
