Viking, Themador, DCS or Blue Star, what's the best?

I bought a Blue Star based on these types of reviews (perhaps people from Blue Star writes them??) and I regret it. The range is of terrible quality. The knob for the oven has a different casing than the rest of the knobs and continuously falls off. The convection fan is so loud, that I have to kick the thing to make it stop, though that rarely works. The markings have been so lightly stamped into the metal, they are hard to decipher and the worst problem, is that whenever I turn on the oven, the house fills with the smell of gas. I have had a repairman look at it, but he has been unable to fix it, and there is no one at Blue Star, who I can contact. I have yet to find customer service except from the distributor, who oddly enough, no longer carries the Blue Star line. What a surprise. Don't buy the Blue Star, get the Viking or the Wolf instead. I sure wish I had.
