I'm personally not skilled enough to do all my food on a single cooker, so I use an electric smoker, pellet grill, SRG, and a gas grill. However, if I had to decide between the pellet cooker and an electric smoker, I would choose the pellet unit. The only thing I use the electric smoker these days is cheese, fish, and jerky, but the pellet cooker is used for hotter cooks like ribs, brisket, tri-tip, etc.
On an aside, I always use the SRG for pork butt because the cook goes so fast and produces outstanding pork (I can squish the pork between my fingers when pulling). I also have never had better baked potatoes than those done on the SRG.
