30 in gas cooktop and ventilation help

Bought a home almost 2 yrs ago with a downdraft GE profile cooktop that only has 2 burners & a griddle with an over the range microwave. I need more burners and don't like the over the range micro. Over $500 to get 2 new burners for existing range. Micro died so this seems like a good time to replace both. Will probably go countertop micro so kids can reach.
I'm not excited about downdraft but is it preferable to a recirculating hood? The current model dramatically pulls the flame to it but wondered if the rear installation retracting models aren't as bad with this problem.
Had a Thermador range at previous home that I loved so I'm leaning towards Thermador cooktop or Bosch 800.
