Same here. We're going to need a new one at some point, and my wife wants one of the french door top and freezer drawer bottom models. We really need more usable freezer space since our current side by side (came with the house, should have brought the monster I bought for our townhouse with us) is very skinny as far as width. We have to take some frozen items out of their box to get it to fit in there.

My solution is buy a cheap deep freeze and put it in the basement for storage, and maybe move up a few items at a time when the main fridge/freezer has space. She'd rather have the fancy french doors.
