There's been lots of discussions on this. Folks would say to get the appliances that work for you, and not automatically stick with one brand. If you have two very close together e.g. fridge & DW - see if the stainless color/handles are similar enough - some panel at least one if they have a concern. That said, I did get a really good deal on a GE Cafe series package (2 being scratch & dent) so mine will match. The appliances forum has very good info there.
