I have the Classic 1 and I've never had any issues with the hinge. The upgraded gasket is a bigger improvement IMO - I have upgraded mine but without the latch it doesn't quite sit right (still cooks the same, doesn't look so pretty). Also my chimney cap has some paint peeling off, but functionally it's fine. The Masterbuilt comes without some of the essential accessories - ash drawer & divide and conquer system, but even factoring in the cost of those you'd still be saving. I think the MB has the updated cart/stand as well which is way nicer than the old one.
