I have the 36" AG. I had no desire for a grill or griddle. I love having the extra room on my cooktop but, honestly, I've never used 6 burners at once and I cook quite a bit. I paired my range with a single electric 30" convection wall oven. I find myself using the wall oven almost exclusively (except for holidays, broiling, and roasting) as the 36" range's cavernous oven takes a good 40 minutes to preheat and you have to plan ahead (I believe this is true with all 36" range ovens). That would be my only negative comment on the 36" range as opposed to the 30". If I had to do it again, I might have gotten the 30" range; I think I would have used my gas oven more often if the preheat was faster. If I was only doing a range with no wall oven, I would have ordered the 48" as I think I would use the smaller oven a lot.

Hi Schroads, The appliance is great and very dependable even to heavy & commercial users plus the parts are still available in the market. The quoted price seems to be a bit high though compared to some rates in the market. Here https://twitter.com/AndelionTweets/status/326462440747462656, we have a quote of $2,180.00 still negotiable. We could help you identify other potential sellers who can give you a "sweeter" bargain if you don't mind. Here is a link that might be useful: Andelion

The main differences in the cooktops (besides price) are (1) Wolf has a control layout that I prefer--I like the touchpad on the side, (2) texture vs. slick top, and (3) timers on the Miele actually turn off burners, but not on the Wolf. I only know that from excessive shopping, not actual use. And I know less about ovens, but I wouldn't feel compelled to get matching brands unless the separate units were both what you wanted. Half off sounds nice...But it's OK to go half Wolf and half Miele unless they look really bad together.

Thank you all for the additional information. The main problem I'm having is I have to decide ASAP since the cabinetmaker will not start until I nail this down - he's supposed to start Monday and we're already 8 days behind schedule. The original plan was the Viking+Electrolux, and wiring has been done already. My original original plan was a cooktop + double ovens, but that didn't work out since there was no other place for the MW. So it was suggested to put the second oven under the cooktop. I convinced myself this was better in case either broke, I could replace each easier/cheaper - this may not be true. A couple days ago I thought, why not a Wolf range (since I was revisiting the whole thing) --- but with them being so expensive, and having to redo electrical --- I thought maybe it's easier just to go with the original plan. I'm glad you sent the info on the Bertazzoni since it looks like that cooktop would actually work with my oven -- I was worried I'd be limited since the Wolf cooktop plus some others will NOT work above the Electrolux oven. So I do have some options there if I need to replace.... Thanks again!
