Well, here's my story so far.

I bought the Kitchenaid KUDP02FRBL (black).

We went (with our commercial sheet pan in hand) and examined various models yesterday. Consensus between the wife and I was that the general loading, layout and feature set of the Kitchenaid was hard to beat. We found that the supposedly comparable Kenmore had fewer cycles (that ended up mattering) and a much cheesier silverware rack. The Jenn Air's fatal flaw is its non-adjustable rack system. The GE was just more money for no apparent reason. My wife just could not get past the unorthodox drying system in the Bosch.

Peter will be over to my house this weekend to do the install. I'll make sure there is plenty of beer.

Thanks again, guys. Your input and guidance are valuable, as always.
