Outdoor Kitchen or Table Options

Options
I’m thinking about adding a kitchen to my outdoor cooking space. On the recommendation of a friend, I stopped by an outdoor living store on my way home from the office today. They’re a Challenger dealer and they also sell modular kitchen setups from American Outdoor Kitchens (http://www.aandbaccessories.com/kitchens/). 

I’m looking at $9-12k if I decide to have my local contractor install the custom kitchen. I’m thinking that if this modular option is a quality one, that can be had for 40-60% of the cost of the custom outdoor kitchen, it would probably be worth it. 

Does anyone one have experience with the modular options from either Challenger or American Outdoor Kitchens?

    I like the idea of modular, given the ability to rearrange as cookers change.

    That’s kind of what I was thinking. I’m only 2 yrs into this egg obsession and I’ve already got 2 XL’s. Who’s to say what’s next and when? 

    My only reservations about the American Outdoor kitchen is the granite tile top and I’m also curious to see what, if anything holds the whole train together. If it’s like a sectional sofa that’s just supposed to “stay” together, I’m out. 

    I like the Challenger quality and flexibility, I’m just not sure I f the value is there when a custom kitchen can be had for $10k +\-

    I’ll be be interested in the input from @Tspud1

    Can’t go wrong either way. I went custom and jm
    happy, but going modular can be awesome at a fraction of the price!
