Smoked Dog

Actually I'm a pre-newby since I just ordered my RT-700 last Friday I've been reading this and other forums, trying to get up to speed on pellet smoking/grilling, but I'm not grasping why a sear kit is desirable when cooking a steak or other meats where you want a sear. I do understand that the sear grates have a flat side, and if that's the side that's turned up, then the entire surface of the meat will be seared. However, if the sear kit is oriented with the other side up to produce the sear lines or hash marks, why is that any different than what the standard grates would do? In other words, if I crank the Bull up to 500, why won't the standard grates produce sear marks? Is it just that the sear kit will get hotter than the standard grates and produce a better sear? While I definitely want the sear, the idea of having another set of grates to clean up after a cook is not appealing.
Thanks for helping me understand.
