buying a range - soliciting advice

One more…strategically placed by the sales staff at the end of the row of front-console gas and electric ranges, sat this Dacor model, straddling the fence between the big general brands and the semi-commercial glamour ranges.

Obviously its a lot more money but I don’t think there’s a designer on this board who wouldn’t appreciate the restraint, clean lines, attention to proportion, and minimal front panel/knobs that add up to the solid good looks of this piece. The oven door hinge was nearly perfect: tight with no slop, slightly dampened but not at all heavy, and it closed with a muffled thud just like (you know what I’m going to say) a BMW sedan.

Dammit I probably just talked myself into that one.
