Any comments on these particular models, or on Maytag vs. Whirlpool,
would be appreciated. We'd like to try to make a decision this week,
if we go with the Whirlpool, that installation deal ends this
Saturday.

The brand name doesn't really matter. Buy the features you need. If
possible, get one without a bottom panel, i.e. with a taller space for
dishes. In some models this space allows a third shelf, and in others the
top shelf has enough height to hold dinner plates.

Also recommend checking that the model you buy has a rinse aid dispenser.
Makes a big difference since this way the rinse aid is only released during
the rinse cycle. And rinse aid is a wonderful thing.
