I looked at both the KA and the Wolf (along with many others) and ended up buying the Wolf warming drawer. The main reason was because I also bought the Wolf double ovens and wanted them to match (the warming drawer is right below the double ovens....I know, everyone said not to put it there but it was the only place I had to put it). The placement of the warming drawer made the location of the control panel a big issue for me. On the Wolf it is easy to see when you are looking down on the WD. I knew that I would never use it if I couldn't get to the controls easily. I also liked that the drawer pan on the Wolf could be removed without removing the whole drawer. I thought that this might make it easier to clean. I liked that the Wolf is set to automatically go off after 4 hours (my poor memory demands this). You can program it to go off at any time from 1 minute to 24 hours. There is even a Sabbath mode that disables the shutoff completely until you turn it off. The Wolf has 4 preset temps (low, med, high and proof) but you can also set the temp to whatever temp you want between 80 and 200 and the LCD display lets you see the actual temp instead of just being a notch on a knob.

I'm not sure if all of this adds up to double the price of the KA (for me it would have been about 1/2 again as much). I guess I would say that the biggest decision makers for me were that I wanted the look to be consistent with the double ovens above, that I could read the control panel from directly above without having to stand on my head, and that it automatically shuts off after 4 hours. Good luck with your choice. KA makes great appliances too and I'm sure you will be happy with whatever decision you make.
