Right off the bat, I'd say you can save $500 by getting the Sharp microwave drawer - I thought all the microwave drawers were made by sharp and rebranded by others.

Even if all of the ranges were equal in performance and price, things like burner placement, diameter of the burners, size of the grates, ease of cleaning, sturdiness and ease of movement of the oven racks, placement of the oven controls, where the door gasket is located, how the door opens and shuts, fit and finish, etc., etc., might matter to you when you have to use it every day. I would look at them all carefully and compare their features before choosing one over the other. When I was range shopping, I would often see something I really liked online, but not so much when I saw it in person.

Depends on the white, if it doesn’t match the bright white cabinets it will stick out like a sore thumb.

When you paint cabinets you have to use a particular kind of paint and follow a multi-step process in order to get a result that will last. You should do some research and then choose the white from the available whites in the right kind of paint. Also, there is no way for anyone to tell you remotely which white is going to work. Our perception of color really depends on the lighting, and colors don't look the same online as they do in person. The only way to find the right color is to sample. However, no matter which white you end up with, stainless steel is a good choice for new appliances.
