I have. I am getting rid of mine this season. Mine caught on fire last fall. I had plenty of water in the "moat" underneath, so I don't want to take any chances with it.

Weber makes the hose and nipple you need in one kit, that replaces the regulator, it's about a 15 min chore. The only consideration is the grill no longer has a regulator and so can't be used on a high pressure line. Kit is on Amazon, $32 plus shipping.

Yes it does not make a difference what grill you get.  All you need to do is remove the regulator that comes with the grill and buy a series of connectors (one quick snap at the RPOD end and another at the grill along with a long hose.  When I researched it I think it came to around $45.  Decided against it as I wanted the freedom to move the grill anywhere I wanted depending on the wind so we carry the  1 lb canisters (which last 3-4 grillings).  But someone posted the parts needed on this forum you can buy at Amazon about a year ago

Reading the description, that appears to be a control valve only. So, no it doesn't have a regulator built in.

BUT.. replacing that isn't what I was talking about. You can remove the regulator from a grill designed for use on bottles, and replace it with a quick connect or threaded connection as needed.

like so.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_-5ysjTiU

If you do a search for "convert high pressure grill to low pressure" you will find videos and walk throughs for nearly any grill.. It's neither expensive, or difficult.

Those little cans of propane last a long time.  As has been discussed on this forum, don't try to refill them.
