I have to agree with you here-the Wolf is a clearly superior range.
Other brands include US RANGES, who put out a similar line. I know a
kitchen designer in Mill Valley who stands fiercely by Wolfs, and
having used hers in her own kitchen, I can vouch for her
steadfastness. The flame control is superior. She puts in many, many
Wolfs, so many that she recommended some changes to the company, and
PRESTO! Her suggestion basically made the range less imposing
vertically, so it would fit into more kitchens. If it helps, her
name is Jane Phibbs, KITCHENS THAT WORK is her firm, and I'm sure
she'd be delighted to talk stove/ranges with anyone.
