I really like Dacor a lot. My only beef is there seems to be more electronics on Dacors products than a NASA ship. Like over engineered. A lot of my customers with Dacor flip out on the repair costs. Generally to fix a Dacor Oven or range costs between $500-$1200. The control boards are astronomically priced and each unit has three or four.
Agree 100% on this one. I don't want beaucoup electronics in a high-heat appliance. I want straightforward & reliable.

I'd get a Blue Star,
That's what I did. Looked at every brand at all pricing points, and kept coming back to high bTUS and a full sized oven. Absolutely no electronics at all. I'd rather replace a $5 digital magnetic timer stuck to the fridge than a circuit board on the range. I can replace the igniters on the BS with nothing more than a screwdriver.
The BS is a beast, with no superfluous parts, bells, or whistles. Seasoned cast iron grates & top, unsealed burners. I can use a wok properly now, and a full-sized sheet pan (18" by 26") fits inside the three-rack oven of a range just 30" wide. If you're serious about USING* a stove, esp at high heat, definitely give the BS a look.
*most high end appliances aren't designed for heavy use--they go into high style kitchens where no one ever fries a chicken, renders lard on the stovetop, etc.
