Replacing old Force 10 cooker?

[Siftasam]

Do we go with the new Eno Force 10 or move to an espace levante or grand chef ?
Really like the Force 10 slide away oven door and don’t think the espace ranges have this?
Have always been pleased with our old Force 10 but now they have been bought out …?
Any comments gratefully received. Both are eyewateringly expensive but we do live aboard…

I have an old Force Ten three hobs, it is well-made, the grill works, but you have to watch you don't catch stuff as the burner can be quite fierce underneath, in the middle.

If it were me, I might replace like for like, but note what is said in this old thread: Which cooker/oven/stove?

A Levant, or Grand chef, would be nice, but that depends on how much you wish to spend. The mantra, buy cheap, buy twice, comes to mind. A cooker gets used far more when you live aboard than if you were a leisure sailor, for which there may be more economic choices.

Thanks Lucy52. The forum you directed .me to was very helpful. Think I will have to see if I can look at the current Force 10 as well as the espace and then make a decision. Thanks for your help.
