I do have experience with smoking, mainly using indirect heat and smoker packages on my broil king thats why i want to move to a dedicated smoker. I actually have an old one made out of an oil drum at my cottage that would probably horrify anyone that saw it, my grandfather built it about 30 years ago and its starting to collapse but it made some really good food in its day.
One of my main concerns as well was the wood pellets as you said. Where would I buy them, how long do they last and how much do they cost. The sales guy said they come in 10 flavours and are in 20lb bags which he said should last between 10 - 20 uses (depending on temperature and are you smoking or grilling). This is just what the sales guy said though so he may be full of crap. I think the bags of pellets were about $20 each and they did have lots in stock.
I was looking at the webber smokers as well, and my main concern is the stacking and lower surface area. is it a problem when you are stacking your meats etc and they are dripping on each other? is there cross contamination issues if you are doing different types of meat/fish? Where would you get the smoking wood for this? The price certainly is considereably more affordable for sure!
