[quote=Anonymous]Historically, slide in ranges were also considered much higher end that drop in. That panel across the back is a dead give away of a kitchen on a budget. Historically, the slide in ranges were more expensive because you were supposed to keep a slat of countertop running across the back of the range -- which required more thought and money and planning. In past years, they are now making sort of hybrid ranges -- panels on the front like a slide in range, but you buy the filler panel to go along the back. So you can put them in a drop in range slot without having to worry about the countertop detailing. Or you could put them in a new kitchen without having to spend the money on the special countertop slat. So in sum, yeah, the ranges with buttons on front are still associated with a much higher end finished look -- even if they fall somewhere between a drop in and slide in range. [/quote]
