Forgot to mention, all gas or dual fuel is ok. But from my research leaning towards all gas. Prices seem to be about the same too.

Well I had a chance to see some ranges in person today. Looks like I am leaning towards the GE Cafe, they did not have a Bosch available.

Now my question is, is there much difference between the two models of the GE Cafe

CGS980S vs the newer CGS985S? Is there a $300-$400 difference?

Huh?

Of those you listed the NXR without any doubt.
It is better than the GE.

1. bertazzoni

4. ge cafe
5. bosch

23. kitchen aid (dont try to use self clean cycle ever)

24. china aka "nxr"

Don't listen to the "China" haters, it is pure nonsense.

The NXR is not "made in China" anyway, it is basically assembled in China with excellent parts from all over.

Burners, Ignitors, valves are exactly the same ones Wolf uses from Germany. The convection fan and motor are from Germany.
Hinges are from Italy, oven and broiler igniters are from New Hampshire, few other parts from Australia and the USA.

Take note that not a single person that spews the usual nonsense of "china, NXR" actually owns one or more than likely has never even seen one.

Bertazzoni's look pretty decent to me and should be on your list, we may have bought one as it was on our short list but it cost $600 more than the NXR we bought and had such a tiny oven. Plus the NXR has IMO much better burners.
I don't like having only one decent burner then 3 small burners from 3400btu up to 11,000btu.
I much prefer to have all 4 burners to be 15,000+btu, plus have all 4 go down to a very low simmer.
