I have the Bosch Integra and KA Architect SxS and the color of the SS seems to match well. My range is electric, but guessing the SS is the same on the Bosch electric and gas. Are you considering any other brands or is it KA vs Bosch?

Thanks for the response. Good to know that the colors do match - that was one of my fears about mixing brands. The way our kitchen is situated, it will be pretty visible for guests so I do want it to look good.

The 3rd brand that we've given some consideration to is GE. Would love to snag their new Cafe range but cannot justify the price. Some of their Profile options do look good but haven't seriously considered any specific one.

Beyond that, I am open to ideas as long as it matches reasonably well and is a good value.

Shameless bump for another pass at this. Got to make a decision in the next week or so and still cannot decide on the KA range...

Don't know if you bought this already, but I just bought one. I haven't baked yet 'cause I'm still burning the smell of oil out (this is true of ALL new ranges, not the KA only) but the stovetop is beautiful. And the various configurations are cool. We'll see about reliability as it goes along.
