Default Range: Convection or conventional?

Hi,

In two weeks my wife and I will take delivery of a new fridge and range,
to go in our first house. We're considering a ceramic top range, and I'm
thinking of one with a convection oven.

I'd be interested to know what advantages and disadvantages convection
ovens have, compared with conventional ovens. An appliance sales person
told us convection ovens typically save about 30 per cent of cooking
time, and this alone may make the extra $200 Cdn worth the time savings.

Most of the oven cooking we do is simple, such as pork chops, steaks,
the odd roast chicken, pork or beast, and some baking for desserts.

Thanks in advance,

Rob in Winnipeg
