Best Kitchen Range?

If you could have any range you wanted, which would you buy and why? What do you consider the best? Are you happy with yours?

I think that for a "dream kitchen" (which is essentially the question here), there are much much better options that the Wolf's and Viking's of this world. They're nice for sure, expensive (overpriced?), but it would be like asking a bunch of car guys "What's your dream car" and get answers like "Honda Accord, BMW 3-series and Ford F150 Limited". Nice "regular" cars, but if money was no object, I doubt anyone would settle for those.

I understand that for 99% of us out there, Wolf and Viking are too expensive and some of the ones I just mentioned are way more expensive yet, but just take a moment to compare in person a La Cornue Chateau or Lacanche with a Wolf or Viking (just to name the most popular), and the difference in materials quality and workmanship is staggering. Unfortunately these days, marketing dollars, fancy gimmicks and magazine exposure mean a lot more than true quality.

alright, rant over, carry on :)
