You could raise the pony wall behind the peninsula and have a dual-height counter with one at 36" and the higher overhang portion high enough to cover the back of the console. The issue with this is that the back consoles tend to be about 47" which makes the back portion high for seating--this type of counter is usually 42".

Bretsky, is there a window above the sink? If not, do you have a basement below this kitchen?

If there is no window and you do have a basement, you could switch the sink and slide-in range locations. The plumbing changes would be possible at a lower price with a basement. If you did switch them, I would suggest a deeper overhang for the seating area on the peninsula. I have a 16" overhang on my island that has a cooktop. That makes the cooktop 18" from the edge of the island seating. It still feels too close for a really comfortable eating bar. With a sink, I would think that you would want at least my 16" of overhang on the peninsula seating for it to feel at all like a place to eat.

I suppose you have considered a counter-top second oven? A lot of them do rotisserie, and many are convection ovens. You could get the big oven in the slide-in, and have the small oven on the counter. Here is a link to some. The Breville in the top row is well-thought-of, and is a mid range price.

We are putting wall cabs behind our high back stove (54'!). We are using wall cabs and will have the one behind the stove face the other rooms and the ones on each side extending our work area. You could do only the one behind the stove if you want, but you'd need the lower ones as well. The good news is we will have the extra storage behind our island ;)
The parts that look brown will actually be white to match it all and make it look like one piece.
