We are remodeling the kitchen in a mid-century modern house. I cook constantly, as I have three pre/teen girls and hungry husband. I'm looking for 36" gas cooktop, 30" electric double oven (one convection/microwave), 48" side by side fridge with icemaker in door.

I've been told by my restauranteur friend to buy Wolf, hands-down, and sub-zero fridge since I can get a better deal if I buy all from one mfr. I like the SZ fridge and wolf cooktop but visited the Miele store here in Dallas and saw a demo of (& tasted food from) the ovens, including the steam oven. Are the Miele ovens inherently better than Wolf? Liked the self-clean with the Miele. Loved the idea of the steam oven but wonder if I would regret the cost when I could just boil the pasta, etc. I could find room for this 3rd oven if it's worth the extra time-saving/flavor/expense.

Any comments would be appreciated. Again, I am constantly cooking and trying to keep my kids healthy--I'm willing to pay more if the product has good service history (i.e. easy to fix) and is reliable.

Thanks!
