I didn't do a lot of searching before choosing my KA 6 burner. It is installed, but not yet hooked up. But one thing I really like is that the granite gets cut in under a flange, so there is no "crud crack". Another thing I like is that my counter run is extra deep at 27" (29" granite), so the rangetop was set back nearly to the wall and nearly flush with the countertop. Here is mine, followed by the floor model which is set in a standard run and protrudes an extra 3+ inches.

IMHO, spend the dollars on the things you really love and want, and find ways to cut costs to stay in budget on the things that aren't as important to you. Some things are worth the splurge.

Capital Culinarian Series CGRT366 rangetop $3039
No red knobs but optional cranberry knobs

BlueStar RBCT365BSS cooktop ~$2100

Either one has far superior performance to the Wolf.

Remember when getting cooktop you must buy extra countertop, pay for cutout ,and more edging. The extra cabinetry is usually nominal.

Usually granite guys say the cooktop cutout is "free" then are willing to give you a discount if getting range. So effectively they are charging for the cutout.
