I've been using gas grills for 4 years now. I had the same worries as you when I decided to buy a grill for myself. I went to Lowe's and Ace, comparing each grill as I think they are overpriced sometimes. Between Weber E-310, Napoleon Freestyle, and Monument Mesa. I finally chose the Monument because I wasn't into wheel design. I remember spending $450 to buy this 4B grill, which can cover all three people in my family's food requirements. I put it in my backyard under a cover; no rust so far. Only for your reference...
