For anyone else looking, I did go see this at appliance builder wholesalers in silver spring, MD.

My impressions were that it was attractive, seemed sturdy, seemed more of a cross between an Italian and American Pro than American Pro- some features were more delicate than I expected, like the knobs were smaller than expected.

However, in the end, the grates kills it for me. They are they odd grates that allow smaller pots to sort of tip through as you push from one burner to another. I just didnt like them, I like continous grates so I can switch things around while cooking depending on what I am actively workin gon.

So, I guess I am back to probably either a KitchenAid b/c its just so cheap (3999) or a Monogram becuase it seems to be fairly solid and will come in at about 5400. They pushed Dacor a lot and have an open box special but I am very worried about the oven complaints I have seen that they claim they have never heard of.

Sad you didn't like the knobs and grates.

I have no connection/interest to or in this company but did see this range in action at a demo and kicked the tires.

It's one of the best values on the market -- essentially the Aga Professional by Rangemaster a highly respected British stove just one not known here at all.

It's dual fuel, self-cleaning, has one of the largest ovens on the market (convertible), dual oven fans and it's way less than other dual fuel ranges.

So anyone who isn't stuck on the knobs or grates might want to check it out.

Dont get me wrong, I thought it was very attractive- the most attractive of non-massive steel ranges. But it was really the grates alone that I couldnt deal with. I am a big time slider and I dont think you can slide on this. Maybe I wouldnt be such a slider if I had a gas range now, but I have electric and to stop heat, you have to move the pot. I will probably stop sliding once I can get the instant response of gas again but right now its in my muscle memory. Pro+ is very beautiful otherwise.
