Hood Angst

I have been searching for a 36" chimney-style hood (at least 19" deep) to fit under our short 92" ceiling with at least 27" clearance above cooktop. Quiet would be nice, but that information isn't always available or easy to compare. VAH looks good on paper but they claim a custom duct cover is needed for our low ceiling. (I suppose "custom" is code for big bucks, and VAH isn't cheap anyway.)

Most manufacturers have telescoping duct covers. That seems very practical. But if you are not even sure what your ceiling height will be after the new floor is in, how can your order one with any confidence? Or does VAH expect me to order a long one and punch it through the ceiling? Not very neat...

Any other nice, quiet hoods for low ceilings?
