Hmm, I thought KA rated near the top in the most recent
go-round. I'll have to recheck. We really do like the
looks of the S series.

Yeah, the other thing I'm looking for is a good, strong
fan. That's why I nixed the idea of a combination hood/
microwave. I think I'll just keep the existing microwave,
and move it into the garage. I only ever use the damned
thing to pop corn and warm coffee anyway.

I was amazed at the price differential. And the space
savings is even more important.
