Still getting used to the stovetop because the knobs are opposite of what we had on our old stove. Instead of turning left to light the flame on this one, we turned right to light the flame on our old stove. 
The flame seems to be evenly spaced around the burner. We cooked paella in a big paella pan on the middle burner. It took a long time, but that was because it was supposed to go in the oven after initial cooking, but our new oven hasn't arrived yet. So we had no oven to put it in.
We also have the downdraft fan which I'm loving. It's relatively quiet and hides away when we don't need it.
