I had eliminated F&P because of the reliability complaints as well. But I kept doing research and when I was finally done added them back. All the issues I've ever seen posted have been well outlined. They have all either been addressed by F&P in product and part revisions or were due to installation error. That's not to say that the product line is now failure free, but it seems to be far more in line with other brands.

I didn't really want an exotic range, that's why I wanted to keep it simple with all-gas. The Bluestar is the home pro range that used to formerly be Garland. Their design and build quality is pretty industrial, but they have amazing burners. My favorite part of having a gas oven cavity would be the amazing infrared gas broiler. The Bosch dual fuel was far and away the best bang for the buck I could find. I'll get some quotes on a few other product at the same time, but I already have documented reservations about them.

Watch the Alton Brown trivection video at the GE site - just google for it. A little smarmy, but entertaining nonetheless. I'm not sure I'd trust a tenderloin fillet to the Advantium myself though.
