New Smoker opinion

Getting ready to head to Lowes and look at a MES40 for $250 http://www.lowes.com/pd_673792-58355-20076515_1z0wekg__?productId=50408360&pl=1  Can't get my Traeger to smoke at low enough temps to do sausage and wondered what you guys thought of this unit.  Any one own one?  Thanks.

Or this one?  http://www.lowes.com/pd_673793-58355-20077915_1z0wekg__?productId=50408344&pl=1

I have a MES 40 that I use for sausage, bacon, cheese & fish. They are perfect for cold or very low hot temp smoking.

Perfect for sausage.

I have the one with the glass door, it's nice to see what's going on without opening the door.
