Hello everyone,

I've enjoyed reading everyones reviews and suggestions over the past few weeks. Lots of great opinions. I did a search on two of the models that I am considering, but there were no results. Bottom line:

New kitchen design, I have flexibility for either a 30in or 36in (placed on outside wall). I really like the thought of a center high power burner for wok cooking (as I like to stir fry at least twice a week). Convection is a must, as significant other likes to bake. Grilling and griddle is nice. Removable is fine, as long as it will work with the burners. I would really like to keep the budget under $3000.00 I noticed the double oven 36 inch Fisher and Paykel http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/OR36LDBGX1.html and Delonghi http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/DEFSGG36D.html

I like the 36 inch cooktop with powerful center burner on each, and the flexibility of the double oven. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with either of these models? I'd like to hear thoughts on the usefulness of the two ovens (yes, they will be small, but we would never bake on a full hotel pan), burners (open/sealed), reliability, etc. One thing i'm not sure of is the lack of a second "simmer burner". Is this an issue?

Other models I've considered are GE Cafe, Electrolux wave touch, NXR 30, Capital 30. I would like to avoid an oven computer and unnecessary gizmos. I have seen the Capital in person (impressed, but $$$!). NXR?? I'm in the Boston area. Does anyone know where I could view the NXR, Delonghi, and Fisher & Paykel?

Last but not least, if I go with a 30 in., should I purchase a 36 inch wall hood? Suggestions for under $1000? What about if I go with a 36 inch range?? I've seen the Windster models on line. It seems that they have the specs., and the price is right. Experience?

Thanks!
