Pellet grill with sear lever or pellet smoker?

Hi all,

Have a Blackstone griddle and Charbroil pro infrared that I converted to normal grill cause the infrared was crap.

I'd like to add a smoker, but I'm also ready to replace the crap grill.

I've found a Pit Boss pro v3 1150 sq inches for 7 bills, and it has that sear lever I've seen mentioned a fair amount when I read a dozen grill vs smoker posts.

Would love your opinion on if you feel like that is a good grill replacement so I can still do burgers and steaks with a good sear, but also be good for the overnight smokes?

Any brand/model $900 or less than you think is better?

Or just get a plain smoker within that budget and keep my grill cause the smoker is so much better at smoke flavor and long cooks?

Thank you!
