I don't want what everyone else has. I don't want to do what everyone
else is doing.


There are two different "everyones". One group would be homeowners, and
you're right. Not many people would have one of the designer hoods you
pointed out in your other message.

The other group would be professional chefs, and they would never install
something that was hard to clean. They also have "housekeepers", but it
doesn't matter.

Kitchens are messy places no matter how careful you are. Would you wear a
$400.00 sweater while making tomato sauce? Of course not.
