We just installed the replacement side by side. (replaced 20 year old 23.6 CF GE side by side). The new one is taller (we had to replace a 15" cabinet above with a 12") and the box projects about 2-3" further into the room. So far the we like the interior arrangement and the clean look. The new one is quieter. The doors will not close by them self, so keep the door alarm turned on.
