Glass Kitchen Island Range Hood

We have a kitchen island with 36"x28" 6 burner Wolf gas rangetop (92,500btu) with downdraft ventilation. We cook a lot of spicy food and the existing ventilation is not sufficient. We are looking for a glass island hood that is quiet and provides enough circulation.

Two options we are considering:

- Kobe Brilla 36"x27" 600cfm https://www.koberangehoods.com/product/isx24-sqb-2/ 

- Futuro Futuro 36"x23" 900cfm Moon Crystal https://www.koberangehoods.com/product/isx24-sqb-2/

The Kobe is cheaper. We won't be using all 6 burners at the same time so figure 600cfm should be fine. Maybe we can use the downdraft along with hood when cooking on 4 burners...not sure if that would work. However, we are concerned about the noise. It is 2.0sone on low (300cfm) and 5.0sone on high (600cfm) I want to be able to watch tv/listen to music while I cook, since I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

The Futuro is much more expensive but quieter as per the specs. It is 0.5sone at 150cfm and 3.2sones at 940cfm. However, the depth is only 23" and I am not sure if it will provide enough coverage for both front and back burners. Also, I haven't been able to find many reviews for it.

I can't see either of these in person as we don't have a local dealer nearby. I would appreciate your feedback on either of these or suggestions on something similar.
