I really struggled as we were remodeling to buy a dual fuel or the gas only option. My kitchen remodel was going nuts, so I decided a few dollars and by the gas only option. I can't believe how well it bakes as a gas oven. As for the burners - they are monsters. If you are interested in a 36 inch oven just do it. I will never go back to a 30 inch. I purchased the grill option too, we love that for everything from chicken breast to grilled cheese. It is worth the $250 up charge. Plus the oven just looks killer and is the crown jewel of the kitchen
