We bought the Broan Elite 2 years ago and are happy with it. Performance is great, it's easy to clean. On high speeds it is very loud, but we don't run it that way very often. I usually use it on the lowest speed, and I find the level of noise manageable. For the price, it was a good choice for us.

Broan E64E30SS with Broan's 600 CFM or higher remote or in-line blower will do the trick. These utilize 10 inch round ductwork. Remote blowers install on the outside of your house, either on the roof or an exterior wall. The In-line blower would be intalled in an attic if you have the room. These tend to be slightly quieter than the remote blowers. The higher the CFM output a blower has, the quieter its operation on low setting, the most common setting. also look at Vent-A-Hood 30 inch 600 CFM units. These are a bit quieter for normal and high settings than the Broan but work best when the output from the hood is vertical, not horizontal. Also, if these appeal to you, have a saleperson show you how to dismantle to clean. It's not hard but it's also not for everyone

Cheri Interesting thread - found myself scrolling and wondering - Personally, for a hood/ventilation I want function over form first - I agree with you - not wanting to overwhelm the space - If your range was centered on the wall I think I would be more convinced that ones above may work. But because of the location I think it will make that side appear heavy, perhaps even lopsided I think I would try to the best of your ability to do a mock up in the space - Range & hood - use cardboard boxes to make a real visual To me the Lacanche is so beautiful & ones eye will be drawn there - there is no need to provide more architectural detail that may draw away from the lacanche Hope that makes sense I searched for photos this one by klb is stunning http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y281/klb_2000/Kitchen%2520Remodel%25202006/RangeWallinprogress.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0718050421613.html&usg=__dwj6GBBLhZGe7-66Nsc50SoUh7I=&h=536&w=362&sz=25&hl=en&start=31&sig2=7ksJOXe-Oib7_t8STRg6zg&tbnid=aldQ3GmAzxidEM:&tbnh=132&tbnw=89&ei=f0Z1SYq9LpqctwfizPHgCA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblack%2Blacanche%2Brange%26start%3D18%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
