That would be about 470 vs 580° F. If you bake very thin crust pizza or
baguettes frequently, you might want the slightly higher heat (but I
think you would be fine with 250° C and a couple of thick pizza stones).
The only other thing that I can think of for an oven hotter than
250° C might be roasting breaded chicken or fish as a lower-fat
alternative to deep-frying them.
