My guess? $ 3500.00 initially.

Agreed ... but lot's folks don't seem to blink at $3.5k these days for a
cooktop. Current kitchen job has a 48" Capital gas range being installed
that is twice that.

The range we're looking at is a bit over $2500 but it'll cost around $1000 to
get gas to it (the propane tank is on the opposite end of the house). We're
debating whether it's worth it, or just stay with an electric range, also
$2500. $3500 isn't out of sight, though I'd be afraid of its reliability
around lightning.

(I was tempted to send them the video last night to see it "The William"
might be of interest in lieu of the Capital ... I just want to play with
it.)
