The Pro Series 575, at 27" deep and 53.1" high. The Westwood XL is 53" long, 24" wide and 113 lbs, so measure your space first.

Can I control either grill from my phone?

The Westwood XL has a WiFIRE controller for app control from anywhere. The given specs for the Pro Series 575 do not list WiFi, so check that model before buying if remote control matters.

Traeger Westwood XL vs Traeger Pro Series 575 Grill

The Westwood XL gives you 825 sq. in. of cooking area, an 18 lb hopper and WiFIRE app control, and it has sold as low as $479.99 (November 6) against a high of $799.95 (November 3). The Pro Series 575 is the smaller, simpler grill and has held at $600.99 since November 4.
