I am changing from a 10+ y.o. gas Dacor that lost its 4th oven ignitor earlier this year and now having top igniter problems (seem like a wiring issue) and the oven thermostat has lost its mind. It's been ok but not great. Put together, it's about another $1000-$1500 to repair. Since we've already sunk $500+ into this year, it's not thrilling. I realize from all of the threads, that may not sound like much, but it is for us. Particularly since it's half the price of a new one and it's never been my favorite child.

I am thinking of reaching up, budgetwise, towards the bottom end of the Bluestar lineup at the 30" RCS. I see no problem with 15k burners and plain convection oven. The open burners would be a significant plus. As would the current sale and it would fit in the same spot.

I would appreciate any and all feedback.
