Blue Star question

Doc,

I'm re-doing my kitchen and considering Blue Star and FiveStar, and have read your posts. I have a related question ... I have little need for a griddle or grill on my range, so I'm planning to get six burners, whichever range I get. In that set-up, would having one lower-output simmer burner be a significant drawback, or would the existence of five other burners be enough to cover me?

As a separate issue, at the risk of setting off another firestorm, does anyone have any experience with the gas ovens in the Blue Star (where it's the only option) and Five Star (where you can do either). I'm planning to get a separate electric convection wall oven, so I don't see a need to pay extra for a duel-fuel range, but I do want the best oven I can get.

Thanks.
