Because of the size of the slot we have to put the stove, we had to get the same range we've had before and I would choose a larger range if I had a choice.  There are very few changes over the years.  There still needs to be more than one large burner.  The positive is that the stove top is very easy to clean and burners are easy to take out for cleaning underneath. The burners also heat faster now.  The negative is that the oven is now preset at 350 and one has to spend more time changing the setting and you have to press start for both the oven and the timer which is an extra move you have to make.  On recommendations - if you have a small apartment, this is a good stove.  If you have a regular size house and cook a lot, it is too small and doesn't have enough larger size burners.
