Wolf gas range. Is it worth getting dual fuel for self clean option?

We are doing a new kitchen, and the LW has decided on Wolf appliances. We will have a 48" range, and a single wall oven. As the cook in the house, I am trying to select pieces within those parameters. Ideally, I'd want both a gas and an electric oven - so figured 48" gas range + 30" electric wall oven. But ... the gas range is not self-cleaning.

Options:

1) 48" gas range + electric wall oven

pro = gas & electric

con = no self-clean on the range oven

2) 48" dual fuel range + electric wall oven

pro = both ovens self-cleaning

con = only electric ovens

I've scoured the internet (largely in hopes of not having to scour a dirty oven!) and not found any consensus. Lots of reasons why the Wolf and other high end "pro" ovens don't self clean. Opinions on whether electric is better for baking, gas better for roasting, etc. But nothing helpful on what its like to actually clean one of these gas Wolf ovens.

Is manual cleaning painful enough to make it worthwhile to pay for dual fuel?
