Thanks again, momotom. I'm going to try to find one on display here in Florida. Orlando is about an hour away and usually anything can be found there if you search hard enough. The SS refrigerators sometimes don't look so stainless to me either so if I get real lucky I might find the Samsung, the Sharp, and the Panasonic in the same place so I can compare. I know I'm completely nuts at this point but we've been through so much on this new build that I don't want to do something now that I'll regret soon because I never want to make another decision once this is done.

This is very interesting as I was thinking of a single wall oven plus a convection microwave as a second oven. We have a regular microwave as well. I really want the second oven for pies, keeping things warm etc but don't need 2 full size ovens as in a double wall oven. Consumer reports didn't seem to think much of the convection microwaves so that put me off. The microwave ovens would be on opposite sides of the kitchen which has some advantage. Any comments?

I did that exactly, ellessebee. I have the 240V OTR Advantium mounted above the counter. I also have 15" wall cabinets so it fits and works like a charm. I don't think there are any differences in the cooking features between the wall oven and OTR models. The oven cavity is pretty big, because I can fit a half sheet. There are two considerations you need to keep in mind. 1. The OTR does need to vent, because it performs a cooling function after using the non-MW functions. I have mine blow out the front, above the door. In hindsight, I would have run some duct up and over to the adjacent rangehood. 2. The door needs and extra inch of clearance on the hinge side (left) to open. When the contractor first installed it, the whole unit was flush with the cabinet and looked awesome. He was so proud of himself, as was I. I went to use it later and couldn't open the door. It also blocked the exhaust in the front. He had to come back and reinstall it by tacking 2x4s (actually measured 1.5x3.5) to the back wall and then installing it. Now it all works beautifully, while taking a slight hit in the aesthetics. Another benefit to mounting the OTR model OTC is that the underside is heat and moisture resistant. So my coffee maker has a permanent home under there where I don't have to worry about the steam damaging the undersides of the cabinet. Oh, and the built in light of the OTR serves as task lighting for the area underneath. So I also saved money on lighting there. This post was edited by jscout on Mon, Jan 28, 13 at 13:26

It's possible that the convection microwave would do it, especially if it's a built-in, 240V, but if your current toaster oven is as perfect for your current needs as it sounds, I'd keep it so long as it's functional. I have some doubts about the 120V convection MWs--I've only used them at others' houses but they seem inadequate. You can decide after you have the new kitchen if you prefer another appliance for your toaster oven uses. I'd guess that the smaller range oven would be a better toaster oven alternative, but I can't guess about heating times, etc. A good range oven should heat evenly. It may not, but it should.
