Thinking about going with this scalloped style range hood (although a shorter 6" model with a rounded nose instead of this square-ish job).

over my green Chambers stove

With this type of cabinet over the hood with the vertical cutting board slots on the sides. Love that!

Here's the question:

stove is 37 1/2" wide. Range hood 36" (nominal) wide. Don't want to go with 42" as I'd bork my wall cabs layout. Too expensive to add the 2" to make R.H. same as stove width. 650 cfm motor in there.

This is not a high BTU stovetop, will this 18" deep, 36" wide rangehood look okay over the 37 1/2" stove top? What if it was 22" deep?

Is it going to look real stupid for that inch on each side 36" above the stovetop? Or not really stupid but just fine?

The hood over the stove in the pic is a 42". I always thought it looked a bit large, actually. Course, it doesn't really suit the stove style-wise... kinda think the scallops would.

Interested in all points of view out there or pertinent pics would be great, too!

thanks!
