Welcome to E2S. I had both and preferred the smoker over the poker. It's all about how much money you have to spend to rebuild either machine when you blow that bitch apart. A poker is $2K+ and a smoker is less than $700. That is for a complete rebuild of the moving parts. If you like the sound of a thumper then get a CR500 to add to your stable. It put's out a nice throaty sound.
