Not the OP but I'm still on here and a lot of water has gone under the bridge. I had the Wolf DF for about 4.5 years and the cobalt blue enamel came off of the bottom after running the self clean. This has been an issue, if you look at the lawsuits on these ranges built as far back as 2006. Quite a few posters had issues of chipping with as many a three ovens in a row. The all gas versions do not seem to have the issue (no blue interior) although they are mentioned in at least one lawsuit. I like Dacor platforms that were bigger too but the ovens I had were worthless. Mine were with the Discovery controllers at the time, different from some of the other ovens. They have since been bought by Samsung and been through model changes through the years. I though maybe they fixed them but there was recently a poster here that bought a wall oven and returned it quickly because they had issues with it. What type of cooking do you do? The Ilve has a few things that might cause concern for some people. The burners are all underpowered for what most people want now. Ranges like BlueStar and Capital have 22-25K on at least two burners. The Wolf all gas also tops out at 15K and you may have had 15 or 16K on your Dacor range So maybe that works for you. I have 15K on my Wolf DF and it is OK but it is on all burners except one. Many people complain that a griddle with 15K is underpowered so 10.5K would be even less. They also mention that the griddle is stainless so it will not season like rolled steel on Wolf. Stainless by itself is one of the poorest conductors of heat so would heat unevenly unless it has aluminum or copper sandwiched in. The French top is also only 8.5K BTUs compared to 18K on something like BlueStar. Also check out the oven size. Look at the usable rack size. A lot of space is taken up by the warming drawer. Look at the broiler size. This is the manual. I would read it and it might bring some other questions to mind. http://ilveappliances.com/sites/default/files/documents/ILVE_Manual_2-13.pdf Do you have service for Ilve where you live? Here are some threads here on Houzz about Ilve ranges in general. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/appliances/query/Ilve/nqrw

I love that you're planning for big dinners! Fun! I'm renting a tent and tables and chairs for a graduation party and in trying to figure out how many tables I could fit in the tent, I Googled 'spacing for tables and chairs.' You'll get several hits. From this link you'll see: For a special occasion such as a holiday meal with many guests, the meal may be served buffet style, calling for a slightly different furniture arrangement in the dining area Allow 60 inches between the buffet or food serving area and the edge of the dining table; this allows room to walk between the table and serving area, even when guests' chairs are pushed away from the table. You'll also need to consider the size of your chairs. For example, arm chairs may take up more space than the same-styled chairs without arms. And will the placement of the buffet be in a corner or 'dead end', meaning two people may need to pass each other behind a seated diner to access the buffet? Or can the buffet line be one way, allowing 'in' at one end and 'out' at the other? I'd try it out... set up your buffet (or a large box to imitate it) 60" away from the back of a chair with someone in it seated at your table. Is it comfortable to pass by? Do you feel like you'll spill soup on someone's head as you inch by, or that your bum is brushing the back of their head? Or can two of you pass each other comfortably behind the person seated in the chair? Once you feel comfortable, then use some graph paper and draw, to scale, your table, chairs, buffet etc. with the comfortable walkway.

OP: if you're still undecided, before you do anything or ask your builder to do anything: bring some balloons, painters tape, and string over to the house (and a step ladder.) From the two spots where the current electric boxes are, hang balloons about the same size and distance from the ceiling as lights you might consider, step back, take a picture. Now, same thing but might be a bigger/more blown up balloon (or balloons together), hang from the center of the ceiling as you would a chandelier or other light. Can't find the center of the room easily? Take more string, and tape it crosswise from corner to corner, again corner to corner, to make an X. Where the strings cross is the center of your ceiling. (If my description is confusing see below.) Now hang your balloon 'chandelier', step back, ponder, walk around under it, adjust the string as necessary, take a picture. Here's what I did before hanging a 3 light fixture in my kitchen. I moved my table under it, had a couple of meals there with the kids, and adjusted the strings as necessary. I kept it up for the electrician to see when he hung the new fixture in the spot where the old one was. (the old one is in the background of the picture.) This helped me get exactly what I wanted. :) This method just saved me some time and money for a new fixture in my master bedroom. I had picked out, but not purchased, a new fixture online. I got the dimensions and thought it would be fine as the ceiling in that room is a bit over 10'. I created a mockup based on the dimensions and it was HUGE. I still wasn't convinced so I hung my mockup in the room, and just laughed at the ridiculous look of what I thought I wanted. Found another one that will work much better. :)

Based on your list of requirements you'll have a hard time finding a fan. 60" is fine, but in a finish other than bronze, wood blades wet rated & 3 blades!!! Why not ask for diamonds while you're at it. Show us your fan
