CI Grid for Large

I know quite a few people on here are using a CI grid and was wondering if you had any recommendations for one? I have done the Google search (also searched on here before posting this) and have found a couple however the Craycort for instance has inserts where I believe I want one solid piece. Thank you and I know this topic has been discussed enough.

    the bge one seems to crack and a chunk falls off, then it works well =) i stopped using mine, the cast iron seems to work better in lower temp gas grills but in the egg where i can get much higher searing temps i dont see it improving my cooks. i believe im in the minority here but i would rather have a ci pan or even better a flat steel plate to sear on if i decided not to use my stainless grate

    I've used a char-broil brand CI grate from Academy. Don't know if it makes a difference or not, but it makes me feel like it does :) Much cheaper than the BGE one too.
