Longtime lurker, first time poster here hoping for help :)

We are in the midst of having to select our appliances to continue making progress in building our new kitchen. After hours of reading, visiting appliance stores, we are no closer to making a decision on our range. Here's what we're thinking:

36"

dual fuel

open burner (That's what I currently have on my 30-yr-old stove so I don't know what sealed burners would be like)

The brands that are on our short list - and where we're struggling to make our decision:

BlueStar

Five Stars

Thermador

GE Monogram

Would love to hear what you would do! It seems like all of these brands have their fans and not-so fans.

Many thanks!
