Precisely my point Koub...all "we" are looking at is photos and to me, based on the small amount of them, I would not bid anywhere close to $3000. I would take the safer bet and get a 100% known solid top Bachuss BLS-59 for $1500 etc.

Or a Momose for $2500.
I couldn't tell from the photos either, the grain running right through was not obvious to me. However, why use a veneer top with so little flame?
In all honesty I like the top myself, but then I prefer natural looking variable flame rather than enhanced BBQ grill style flame.
