buying a range - soliciting advice

I’m just getting a range. Its a mixed bag in there now - Kenmore (Sears) range and dishwasher, KitchenAid fridge, some microwave…

So, its not a kitchen remodel, which is at least a few years away, but it would be nice to think that whatever we choose would still be relevant/good looking/functional by then.

The problem with that angled Fridgidaire control panel is that the bezel is plastic. I couldn’t tell if it was painted or molded in that color but there’s no way it will look good after a short period of use. Too bad, because the upwards angle makes all the rest of the other models seem stupid and hard to see.

Yes the Dacor model is made in the states… they have a very clear mission statement. Talk about a BHAG design goal (last paragraph).
