Hi ya_think. We started getting a clue around the end of the year and confirmed probably in February??? Going in we knew it was a new product and there was some risk that changes could happen to the design. For us the combination of the french doors, IR broiler, capacity, and design were worth the wait. We looked all of the usual suspects but found that the none offered the right mix of features for us. We also wanted a more simple, traditional look so the Wolf rotating control panel for example was a little too space ship looking for our taste. I think there may have been some issues with the double oven config during the whole gov't testing/approval process that led them to go with the stacking approach, at least that is what our retailer told us. Obviously we are fine on width but two stacked units will be about 6 inches taller than the original double. As a result we are having our kitchen guy come out to decide if we are going to lose a drawer/shelf or just have that cabinet rebuilt. That cabinet is mostly air anyway so we are not losing too much sleep over it. We expect that no changes are needed on the gas hookup or electric. Ovens showed up today and are in my garage! As soon as we get them hooked up I'll be sure to post some photos and share my experiences. You will notice that the photos on the BS site are updated now with the *real* ones.

I would suggest posting this question on the Appliances Forum. Also, have you read the specs for both ovens? You may find your answer there. Failing all else, I suggest you call each manufacturer...you might do so anyway to ensure you do not violate a warranty.

My understanding is that they have not been delivered yet to anyone. I ordered mine in October. Last I heard was they were waiting for a part that was scheduled to be delivered mid January and they expected to build and ship orders first quarter. I'm hoping to have mine by March.

Okay, I didn't open the wrapper with the shelves in it, so that piece is no doubt there (The living room is full of boxes with all the kitchen stuff in it, so I'm avoiding opening anything that isn't required). My bad on that. Your heating elements seem to fit in the slots. Mine won't go there without bending.
