I have the jennaire pro 30" all gas. so far so good!! It's good looking, bakes very well. Love the simmer (it works better than any i've ever had), I have no issues! I've been using it regularly since about march good luck!

Um, pro residential ranges are not the same old range with a different look. A Monogram has 140-degree simmer to 18K BTU on all burners. A Frigidaire Pro has one front burner that goes up to 17K, one rear burner that goes to 15K, a 9500 burner, and a 5000 burner. I would not be happy with this arrangement because to me, 9500 burners are fairly useless. What you will use and care about depends on your style of cooking. I sear, saute, braise. I have 2 12K burners and 2 9K burners. The 12K burners are much more powerful than the 9Ks. I moved the burners so that both 12Ks are in the front. Who wants to saute on a back burner? Not me, anyway. I might slide my Dutch oven to the back burner to simmer, but the 9K burner doesn't even simmer low enough. So I have often wanted more powerful burners, in every location, as well as simmering ability, in every location. The Monogram delivers that. (I'm singling out Monogram, but there are other choices in this performance category.) The reason to go with Bertazzoni is to get that look for that price. Performance specs are not on par with other pro ranges, but are more like the Frigidaire Professional. And there are other brands with pro-style looks but not specs. Make a spreadsheet or chart comparing specs and you'll see what I mean. Whether you should spend more for all that heat depends on how you cook. My mother, for example, never browns anything. She thinks cooked onions should be a blonde color; I'm going for mahogany. If you don't desire the high-heat power or simmering ability of the pro ranges, then certainly choose something like the Frigidaire Pro where you at least get the heat on one burner, and a good-looking appliance for a lot less money.

I've been where you are. I also didn't want a bottom handle on the range, as one big handle is more than enough. I dismissed the Jenn-Air due to all the bad reviews/repair records from people in the business. I didn't like the lip on the KA (from smoothtop to controls). I liked the clean lines on the Bosch and Jenn-Aire, but the Bosch won hands down because of it's reviews and style. We have the SS Integra and love it. It's roomy. The cooktop heats up quickly. The fan does come on whenever the oven is turned on but it's not loud, IMO. We haven't used the probe yet, so I can't tell you about that. We're quiet pleased with this range. Word of advice: Just make sure the minimum height of the Bosch will work with the height of your current countertops. If your countertops are less than 36", the Bosch will be higher than your counters. Our counters were lower so we had to build them up in order to make the range fit properly over the counter. I wasn't about to return the Bosch for one I didn't care for; I liked it too much. Also, if you don't have a slide-in currently, you'll need the 3" filler piece behind the range b/c the range does not touch the wall. The Bosch does not come with this peice - at least mine didn't. Any questions, let me know. Deb
