The stainless steel exterior makes the Cusinart a classy appliance that deserves a space on my counter.  The quartz heating tubes heat the oven fast and provides even heating.  The pull out crumb tray makes cleaning easy.  For my family, it is much faster to use the Cusinart than to heat up my conventional oven.

On the down side, the outside of the oven gets very hot, to the point of being concerned about burns.  Better insulation would be a big plus.

I also read many reviews that noted the labels on the buttons wore off, so I didn't take any chances and put tape over mine from the start.
