There is not as much space for standing-up bottles between the shelves and the doors. We've made it work, but we depend more on the shelves (with the bottles lying down) than taking out a shelf to set them vertically. The big concern is the ice makers. The craft ice maker is amazing when it works, but we've had to have it replaced twice in the year of owning it. The door version works well but has little capacity compared to the production rate. If you're in the fridge a lot and the temperature does not get low enough around the maker, it won't make ice.
