My final appliance decision has boiled down to (no pun intended) a 30" GE Monogram AG range and a 36" Thermador Pro Harmony (4 burners with a griddle). The Thermador promotion (including free hood & discounted dishwasher) makes the cost comparable. I prefer the GE but am wondering if having a griddle will be useful (we do have an electric griddle appliance which we use frequently). I'd like to know if those of you who have a 36" stove prefer it to a 30" (cu. ft. on the oven is about the same).
