Question about pizza stones

So my birthday was Fri and one of the gifts I got was the BGE pizza stone. While reading the paper that came with I noticed it said stone was made of same ceramic as the Egg itself. So then it's not a regular stone like say pampered chef? Is their an advantage to using the ceramic stone for a traditional stone?

I have read stories on here about the pampered chef stone breaking in the egg. If you google it, I think I found the Pampered Chef stone to only tolerate temps up to 500-550. I have a PC stone but only use it in the oven (ok, maybe I used it once or twice on the egg but kept the temp to 500ish). I am waiting to get a BGE stone before doing anymore pizzas.

The advantage is high heat. Some porcelain stones note temps up to 600º, most home pizza stones note 450-500º. If you like to cook your pies at high temps, the BGE stone is a good investment as it seems to be able to tolerate whatever the egg can generate. PC stoneware typically has a 450-500º max.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

O, one more note I just remembered. My pampered chef stone is warped....I think it is from the 2 times I used it on the egg and temps spiking.

I've seen soapstones advertised anyone use one? They look like they would be great but very expensive.
