We are thrilled with our new range!  It preheats in half the time of my old range.  We do a lot of roasting in our house, and I truly believe our veges come out tasting better.  A simple, but incredibly functional feature, is the ability to still see the time while an item is in the oven.  Regarding the cooktop, I love the warming section, which I've never had before and it has proven to be very useful when preparing family meals throughout the week.
