Re-designed Bosch induction cooktop

17 years ago

My 30" Bosch induction cooktop cracked at the time of installation so Lowe's is replacing it. Since I bought the 8053 model last Spring, Bosch has changed its lineup some. It now makes two 30" models - the 5065 and the 8065. Lowe's is proposing the 5065. Honestly, it looks to me as though there are things about the 5065 I'll like better - the control for the settings, the count down timers. But, it actually appears to be less expensive than the 8053 was. Can anyone discern any real differences between the two functionally? Burners are slightly different sizes. The 8053 touts "four cooking zones" but I never understood you could operate power boost on all four burners at the same time anyway. New one doesn't mention cooking zones.

I'd sure appreciate any help in trying to differentiate the two.
