I bought a dual fuel one - being able to switch from 4 gas burners to charcoal very easily.
I suppose the only benefit is being able to choose what fuel to use for short-standard cooks. You can only use briquettes, and put in only one layer, whilst you can't adjust the height of the charcoal. It sits very close to the grill.
All in all I'd say it's a decent option, but I'll probably buy a small smoker next year to complement it. We have an old Weber sat in the front garden of a flat we left out... but I'd be amazed if someone's not nicked it by now!
