FWIW, we both agreed that a 36" range was enough to meet our cooking needs. I still want the prep sink though and will be presenting my case to the kitchen designer. WE currently have two sinks, each with a disposer, and I really like it. HER argument is that, with the reconfiguration of the kitchen, the refrigerator will be closer to the main sink and therefore it will not be as necessary to have two sinks. I'm going to come at her with, "Whatabout when you need to fill a pot with water next to the stove ? HUH? What are you going to do then ? Spill water all over the fucking place ?" Shit.
