Prestige vs Prestige Pro - worth the jump? - Pitmaster Club
They both have stainless grates - the Pro model's version are just a bit thicker. I was just mentioning that because the fancier grates seem to be a big part of how Napoleon justifies the difference in cost. Not worth it for me, so going with just the Prestige series, and as Sdell suggests ...

Carolyn The only issue I have had with my Prestige Pro 500 is the decals rubbing off. I used a degreaser, pretty common one that I've used for years for my grills, and discovered those decals on the front panel come right off. Otherwise, the grill has been solid, no temp issues that I've seen. ... I have had a Prestige 500 since 2010 and it is still going strong. I have replaced the grate on the sideburner with a stainless one and replaced the drip pan but Napoleon is great with parts availability.

January 14, 2025 - Yes, it has lights integrated into its lid; it's quite a game changer and it's only the Pro series that has them. And, in terms of lighting, it doesn't just have that! It also has a motion sensor at the front that makes sure that all the lights turn on when you position yourself in front of it. There is also the Napoleon logo that can be displayed on the ground and the color of the front buttons that can be changed.

r/grilling on Reddit: Napoleon Prestige 500 vs Prestige Pro 500
January 17, 2020 -
I'm looking at buying my first grill. I'm leaning heavily towards the Napoleon Prestige 500 (natural gas with the rotisserie and side burner). I'd love to talk myself into the Prestige Pro 500, but I just can't figure out what justifies the $700 price difference. Based on the comparison in their brochure, these are the only benefits of upgrading:
-
9.5mm cooking grids vs. 7.5mm
-
Integrated ice bucket and cutting board
-
Lights in the grill and cabinet
-
LED knob lights vs just blue and red (and that weird floor light)
-
"Commercial" rather "heavy duty" rotisserie (whatever that means)
I'd happily pay $200-$300 for these kinds of extras, but $700 just seems incredibly out of proportion to the differences. Am I missing something?
I'm hoping this kind of post is okay, couldn't find any specific rules for this sub.

I’m not familiar with their new grills so take this with a grain of salt. Some times there are structural/better quality hidden things when it comes to the different levels. Most of those additions you listed have nothing to do with cooking, just aesthetics. I guess I’d like the bigger grates and have never had a problem with a stock rotisserie. We’re not putting a pig on the spit here. Also, personally the cutting board and ice chest is a waste of time for me. The lights are cool, but again won’t cook a better steak for you. With the money saved you can buy some nice patio led lights, and enough wood if required to build a bbq pergola. And still have cash in the bank for some nice cooks.

It was a very tough decision for me too. Put it this way, the fact that you are considering both options means that they are both priced correctly. For me, I ended up biting the bullet and going with the pro 500ng since I didn't want to buy the second best and then regret the fomo I would have while grilling. Just knowing that I have the very best was beneficial to me mentally. Also I'm more stable financially and it's a long term investment for me. Also note that the entire pro including all the parts and body are bigger and better quality SS and made in Canada vs. The prestige 500.

r/grilling on Reddit: Napoleon Prestige Phantom vs Prestige Pro
October 9, 2021 -
I'm currently shopping for a new grill, and have narrowed it down to either the Prestige Phantom or the Prestige Pro. What is driving me crazy is I can't tell what the major differences are with the Pro to make it worth $500 more.
The Phantom's main compelling feature are those really amazing looking cast stainless steel cooking grates. Those seem like a great upgrade over standard stainless grates.
From what I can tell, the Pro offers nice internal lighting, a convenient roll out tank holder, a taller lid, and soft close doors? I'm not seeing anything that might make the cooking experience superior.
Am I missing something that might make the Pro a better purchase? Perhaps the base offers better construction overall? Or am I simply crazy?

Just bought the Phantom Prestige 500. The Prestige pro has a higher quality stainless since it's not painted. I did a magnet test with the sales guy and the magnet stuck almost everywhere on the black paint but no where on the stainless. Plus the Prestige pro has color lights that you have to plug to 120 Volt, the phantom doesn't have color changing other than telling you when burner is on, but they use batteries. The Prestige Pro doesn't come with nice upper grill of the phantom but it has better stainless steel grills. Hope this explains the price difference. In any case I still bought the Phantom, getting it June 1.

I'm trying to decide between these two as well. I know the prestige pro has better grates (slightly thicker) than the prestige but I personally think the cast stainless grates on the phantom are even better.. I'd imagine we'll start seeing them on the pro or at least a pro phantom eventually.. The pro does have the soft close doors but I really don't open the cabinet enough to care. The only feature I feel like I'd really be missing on the phantom vs the pro is the interior cooking lights. I really do want them but I don't know if they're worth almost $600. Leaning towards buying the phantom and a clip on grill light...
