Confused about combi-steam ovens

We were thinking about installing a combi steam oven as our second oven, but I'm getting very confused about installation requirements. In the manufacturer photos, they seem to be in stacks, along with other ovens, which is what we would like to do -- install it in the same stack as a convection electric oven (steam oven on top), with a cabinet on top of that. But are there special ventilation/ electrical requirements for steam ovens? The Wolf manual implied that the outlet had to be in a cabinet next door. And I read a post about the Miele oven referring to the need for 24 inches of additional ventilation, which I couldn't quite follows.
By the way, we were originally set on the Wolf, due to its large size, but like the sound of the combi Miele as well, due to its broiler. I'm just not sure how much smaller the Miele is in practice. The Thermador seemed way too small to us, and we don't have the plumbing for the Gag.

Thanks so much for any insights on this.
