Appliance choice help - Where to cut (budget)?

I'm over my budget on appliances and can't pull from anywhere else. So I need to figure out where it's worth spending extra $$, and where it's ok to go a little cheaper. Ideally, I'd cut $2K, but I just don't see that happening. So if there are reliable comparable brands, please let me know. Looking at stainless (black DW & cooktop are ok).

Fridge: GE profile 25 cu ft FD (model PFSS6PKXSS) - $2500

Wall Ovens: Electrolux $3K

Cooktop: GE profile induction $1600

Dishwasher: Bosch (SHE55M0xUC) $900

Here's what I love about them, and what's important if I switch brands:

Fridge: love the LED, pull out shelves, drawers, where the ice is located in the fridge. External ice/water is nice, but not a necessity.

Ovens: has to be a double, and need convection in at least one oven. I love the elecrolux racks, though!

Cooktop: I've read wonderful things about induction. Love it's cleanability and how fast it boils water. If I don't go induction, I'll probably get the Bosch electric cooktop w/ the bridge ($1K).

Dishwasher: want it under 50dB. Like the adj. top rack, stainless interior, ability to move around silverware basket.

I have 3 small children, don't do a lot of baking, but I cook dinner daily. So, given those parameters, where should I cut/switch brands?
