Try more Costcos and look for the Virco before buying. It really is wonderful (in my experience) & has more BTUs, stainless, etc. than the Members Mark. Has an amazing thick cover, etc.

CHeck out our Appliances Forum. Lots of great information there.

Spiderrico... I've been wrestling with this decision as well for the better part of the last half year. I just last week ordered the same solution as kkcooks (I think) - a Wolf all-gas with the charbroiler. In the end, I decided to go with an infrared grill, which narrowed it down to the new Monogram, Wolf, and Capital. The high heat capacity was just too good to pass up - cooking on an infrared grill was the closest I could come to the outdoor charcoal experience. Of those three, I think any of the three would have been excellent ranges. Ultimately, it was the burner design, overall design and "fit and finish", reputation for service, identical btu of the other four burners, and local availability that pushed the Wolf to the top. If you can, go cook on the stoves, or at least see them in action. That helped us quite a bit with the final decision. It was because of the demos that a Bluestar, even with the u-shaped grill burner tube, actually remained in the running for quite a while, because we loved the 22k burners. I would have discounted it out of hand because of it's lack of infrared grill. Good luck with your decision! I'll try to post my report once the range is installed and I've had some time to grill on it.

you might want to post your question in the Cooking Outdoors instead of this appliances forum http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/bbq traffic isn't like it used to since houzz bought GardenWeb, but anyway, $6k is a tough price point, most entry level built-in is around $2k, then it jumps to over $8k. I got a Blaze 40" 5 burners built-in 2 years ago, because that was the cheapest 40" 5 burners one can buy for under $2k with a decent lifetime warranty. check it out, save yourself ~4k, price has gone up now, it was $1599 when I got it.
