Charcoal or wood flame definitely adds nice flavor. Propane flame hardly adds anything (IMO nothing at all).
That being said, I prefer searing stake one flattop so it cooks in the juices. When cooking on a normal grill, the juices fall through the grate. You can also make mean smash burgers on this puppy.
But I see "people" here are using the wrong terminology...

Cheers,
The hood models are designed to trap heat and be used during cooking, much like a charcoal grill. The hard cover is just for storage to keep it out of the elements.
From your description, it sounds like your friend has one of the hood models.
I've used theirs couple of times (involuntary family cook here). Love it. For backyard parties, it's perfect ..
We went camping recently and we hauled the bigass grill over in my truck. Pretty much cooked everything on it for the 2 night camping stay...breakast (potatoes, eggs, bacon, toast all spread out on the grill)....lunch (turkey patties and chicken breasts on the grill, warm buns and melt cheese). For dinner, we used the grilltop to cook prawns, stirfry, pork chops, etc. Took a rice cooker and made fried rice on the grilltop. The gas tank lasted the entire duration. Cleanup is really easy and very easy to maintain the grill top. Just scrap off the grease/crud, spray water, wipe off..dry, spray light coating of oil..store away.
However, I'm waiting to see if any memorial deal will come around since Summer is around the corner ..$299 seems to be the recent price pretty much everywhere so this is not exactly a hot deal.
But yeah, highly recommend this even though I've yet to own one..lol.

Looks like Walmart has a similar model with a cover for $297. But no front shelf. I'm thinking about grabbing it..

Also, they CAN replace a grill...again, think restauratnt. Very few restauratnts have a "grill" in their kitchens, those that do not either use a grill pan or a flattop. The only issue with flattops is cooking food that need heat internally, a la bratz, chicken, potatoes or melting cheese and the like...this however can be solved by a large "hardcover" as many have mentioned here in this thread, or simply by placing a pot lid over the food. Which many restauratnt chefs do.
Cheers,
We have a gas stove, and it has a middle burned with a cast iron (but small) griddle. I just want a griddle big enough to cook ~10 pieces of bacon, eggs, maybe some diced potatoes and that, and I thought this was a good approach. But when you call out it's more for parties, I also don't need something that is going to be such overkill that I am wasting fuel because I am not using the full potential.
With that in mind, is there a better middle ground option that you (or anyone) can recommend that is a larger flat top unit, but not a party size one?
Thanks!
Oh no. I actually have a sturdy Steelmade griddle on top of my grill outside, and it never comes off. The surface area to sear meat and create the maillard reaction is so much better on a griddle. I make smashburgers and steaks with a distinct flavorful crust that my grill alone can not match. I have a charcoal kamado (egg) to smoke/grill which works best for chicken/ribs/etc. but it still doesnt finish a steak as good as a really hot griddle. Then there is the habatchi, breakfast, group cooking benefits as well. When my grill craps out, I will replace with a nice griddle only...
I had a soft cover before I bought a hard cover, and imo, the hard cover is more a nice to have than a necessity. Yes, if you have neither and you let standing water sit on the flat top it will rust. More importantly, make sure to season the flat top well and continue to season it as you use it. Think of this flat top like a cast iron pan.
There are a ton of Youtube videos and such to learn what to use it for. Some of my favorite things are smash burgers, stir fry and breakfast. If you season it well, cleanup is a breeze and you'll not have to use so many pans indoors and "smell up the house." Even just cooking a pound of bacon on it makes this grill worth it imo.
I usually only cook for up to 3 so the 28" is nice. However, sometimes I long for the bigger model 'cause having 4 different zones for temps instead of 2 would be more convenient.
I still love my grill but I use the flat top much more frequently.

For what you want to do, this is a great options for you imo.
I have a 36" Blackstone with the hard hood plus a soft cover. I live in South Florida, it gets poured on regularly, sometimes for days at a time. My cooking surface and hood are both in perfect condition; however, my frame and legs are displaying severe rust after two years. Some of this is heat damage along the front and sides of the frame where heat "leaked" out, bubbled the finish and then ambient moisture did the rest but some of the other rust I can only attribute to the soft cover trapping moisture and creating sort of a steam room effect.
The rust hasn't had any impact on my ability to use it and it seems just as structurally sound as day one and if it really bugged me, I'd just take a wire brush to it and paint it but I honestly don't care. The main point is that if I had a soft cover alone, I do not believe there would be any way to consistently prevent moisture ingress onto the cooking surface if you get any sort of steady rain.
As long as you go into Blackstone ownership knowing that you're not buying it for life and, no matter how much care you put into it, will probably need to replace it years down the line, you'll be happy. I cook every day of the week. I have a great kitchen, a smoker, a grill, every size of cast iron known to man, and a Blackstone, and there are just some things a griddle can do that can't be replicated with any combination of the other appliances. I am about to move, I probably won't take my Blackstone with me, but I'll definitely buy a new one when I get to my new house.
Also, get the biggest size you can possibly fit in your space. Do not hesitate. I mostly just cook for two and there have been many times I've used every inch of the 36" surface. It is nice being able to do burgers on one side with really high heat, while toasting buns or cooking up some onions on the other side. Having a high heat area and a low heat area to keep things warm is a really underrated aspect of the 36".
I was very impressed by the courteous woman that handled my claim and the speed of Blackstone sending me a new surface.
