I ordered my bull yesterday and I can check it when it arrives and post the resultsUsing my calipers around the lid opening, my Stampede measures around 1.2 mm on the sides and top and about 2.4 mm on the bottom, which may be doubled over to form the lip for the grate but it's hard to tell in the dark right now. 18 gauge stainless steel is 1.2 mm.
I don't have a Bull to check. But you can always contact Rec Tec and ask.

If you look on Grilla Grill site they list the RT 590 specs as 11 ga for the lid and 15 ga for the body. Is this correct?

I’m in the manufacturing business and I would caution you not to get too distracted by the thickness of the sheet metal. It’s stainless and the entire structure of RecTec grills is solid. There’s no flex. The fit-up is perfect. The margins are all even and the lid fits the body so well you don’t feel the need for a gasket. They really did their homework. It’s a superb value for the money.
If you’re worried about having enough thermal mass to hold the heat, I think it’s there. The controller can throw the fire to it, and accurately, when it needs it. And air leakage is extremely low. I’ve noticed with my BFG and 700 it takes about 45 minutes at temp before you can open and close the lid and have the temp recover within a few minutes.
