Why not step up to the GE Cafe dual fuel range? It gives you a freestanding range with up front controls. A few other features I like are the meat probe, self clean racks (you don't have to take them out!), a lower baking oven and the five burners up top. You should be able to find one under $2350.

I have a GE Profile range, rear panel controls. Not dual-fuel. Four years old. I've run self-clean several times. No trouble thus far.

I have had a Jennair slide in gas range with convection oven for about 7 yrs. It originaly cost about $1600-1700. The electronic contol panel is on the front, just above the oven door and between the burner knobs. This control panel has been repaired twice for about $300 ea time. It is now broken again! My husband believes that there is too much heat rising from the oven, which burns out the electronics. BTW, I have never even used the self clean feature, and rarely broil, so my oven temp is never even that high. I am getting rid of this piece of junk and want minimal or no electronics or they will be above the burners on the back away from oven heat. I like the Wolf, DCS type, but the price is a stretch for us. Maybe someone has a suggestion? Thanks.

I think this is a potential issue with slide-ins in general and the reason why so many slide-ins have the fans that people also complain about - sandwiched in there between the oven and cooktop is just not a very electronics-friendly environment.
