Academy MES 40 good deal?

[Oceangrace24]

I found this at academy and from all my reading over the last week, it looks to be a Gen 2.5 and sounds like a great deal at $199. Was about to pull the plug on a 30 inch before I found this and wanted to make sure it is as good of a deal as I think?

Looks like a good deal. However, you missed the black Friday deal. The 40S was on sale for $170. But this is still a decent deal.

The 140B 40" in the link above isn't Bluetooth so it's not a Gen 2.5. It's a Gen 1 hybrid which is good but I can't find that there is a remote in the box like the 140S that was just on sale for $170 that listed a remote as one of the four items in the box. There's a manual and a smoker in the box in the link above. I hope they give you an RF remote.
