Replacing a gas range cooker

Hi all,

I need a bit of advice on how to replace my 100cm gas range cooker (inherited with the house we bought).

Having looked at all the options it seems that a dual fuel would require a cooker ring installing (at a cost i imagine of circa £250+). So I could either go for:

Low end gas range - eg New World 100GT @£600
Low end dual fuel - eg Flavel AP10FR @£450 + £250 cooker ring = £700
Better quality gas range - eg Stoves Richmond 1000GT @ £1180
Better quality dual fuel - eg Stoves Richmond 1000DFT @ £1180 + 250 cooker ring = £1430

At the moment I think the best option is looking like saving up for the Stoves gas range, as the reviews I've read of Flavel/Leisure/New World make me think I'd need to replace them within a few years and/or spend loads on call out charges.

One other option which I was thinking, and this may be a stupid question, but could I just put in 2 50cm ovens where the gas range currently is (as it currently supplies 2 ovens albeit they're joined together)? Or one gas and one electric, plugged into the mains as presumably it would need a lower amp than a range?

Grateful for any responses, cheers
