Hey Folks,
Any advice on 36" 5 or 6 burner gas rangetops? I'm looking for a rangetop not a drop-in cooktop. A range top slides in, with countertop on either side, instead of getting dropped into a countertop cut-out. The range tops I like the look of have the knobs on the front of the stove, instead of on the surface � safely far away from splatters and spills. It basically looks exactly like the burners on a regular range -- just without the oven underneath.

I've been looking at the Bertazzoni CB36500X and the Bertazzoni CB36600 -- but really just based on price and looks. I've also looked at the DCS CPU366 -- but again, mostly just based on looks and the advertized features. So, nothing real to go on.

I'm looking for quality/durability, steady low simmer temps, high heat for boiling pots of water, and the capacity of 5 to 6 burners. Ideally the burners would be designed for pots and pans to glide easily from one to the other. I'd also prefer the burner grates to be dishwasher safe.

Any thoughts or advice?
