My DD603 (10 years) indicates a clean plate icon, or 00 (I don't much pay attention to what's there) on the LCD badge after a cycle ends, until the drawer is opened or Power is pressed. The integrated models (without LCD) may not have an indicator.

Hmmmm, I guess this isn't a very popular fridge?

They'll probably still go in the same hole. Panel sizes may be different of course. I think the remote control will be good for integrated. NO controls visible, so total dishwasher concealment. My integrated one required me to pull out the secret passcode book to program some settings. A remote should allow easy function selection. I HOPE it would come with mounting screws so you could just stick it on the inside of a cabinet door (Sink tip out?). Don't think of it as something your kids will lose. Of course I don't know what it actually does. But the idea which sounds ridiculous at first makes sense if you think about it.

Well, obviously I don't have this one, but here's what I remember from looking at it (all to be taken w/ grain of salt since this is based purely on memory!)---not sure there is anyone floating around GW that I've heard of who has the FD model! 2. Is it necessary for you to open the doors past 90 degrees in order to roll out the crisper bins (if so, how far)? Or do the crisper bins help push open the doors? Probably. It is with the single-door model and I'm 99% sure they're the same crisper bins, so I imagine it's true for this too. However, you can get into the single-door bins with a 90 degree opening---you just can't take them out. 5. Do you have to open/close the doors in a certain order? (eg, always close the left hand side before the right or it won't seal, etc.) I think this is one of the fridges that you can do either way (where the center flap folds), but might be misremembering that. If I think of it I'll check the next time I'm at a showroom. 6. Can you fit two half-gallon cartons of milk on ONE of the bottom door shelves? Pretty sure you can but did not test it. Gallon containers fit. 7. Where do you put a carton of eggs? While the FD doesn't come with the same little egg holder that the single-door has, I think the upper door bins are the same size, so probably eggs would fit there? That's what I imagined when I looked at it, at least. 8. How hard is it to pull open the freezer? (With some other models, I have to literally brace myself.) Average, I think, given that I don't remember it being an issue one way or the other (as I do with some of the other FD fridges we looked at). It seemed more substantial than the freezer door o the single-door model. 9. When you pull open the freezer, does the top shelf slide out automatically, or if not is it easy to slide yourself? Just the main shelf comes out---you have to reach in and open the ice area and other shelf separately. Don't know if you can lock them on or off as you can with some fridges, but I don't recall seeing that feature. Not sure how much that helps...good luck!
