Gas Ranges: Frigidaire, Kitchen Aid, GE Profile

[GSM]

It's time for a new gas range. I've narrowed the field to three: Frigidaire Professional Series, Kitchen Aid, and GE Profile. All are pretty comparable as far as price and features. Does anyone have any experience with these brands they'd like to share? I'm finding mixed reviews of Kitchen Aid online but not much is out there regarding the Frigidaire line.

I've had a GE Profile range for about 7 years or so and have had no problems with it. I like the continuous cast iron grates. The only thing I don't like about them is they have four little rubber feet on the bottom of each grate and are easy to lose if you aren't watching.

The simmer burner works perfectly.

Thanks al... I think I'm leaning towards the GE...

I'm not sure if my new Frigidaire is "Professional" (it's in the Gallery Series) but--oxymoron of a name, aside--I'm absolutely loving it. The continuous cast iron grates are solid and well-designed, the true convection oven quiet and powerful, the multiple rack arrangements are really handy, the electronic keypad is very intuitive (except for Doofus here often forgetting to hit "start" at the end!), and the price--$800 "on the street"--fantastic. I've been using it daily since this past July and haven't a single complaint. The white ceramic top is cleaning up just fine with some glass top stove cleaner...
