My guess? $ 3500.00 initially.

I'll bet they're more.


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.

I blinked heavily when the front office gal at the dentist's office
said she wanted $2,243 to do a root canal, post'n'prep, and porcelain
w/ high noble crown on -one- tooth. My jaw is still bruised.

I may wear a mask and go armed into the next medical office. Two can
play that game, eh?
