Had been looking at the Lopi and Buck stove but I have found a Pacific Energy dealer outside of town, the Buck dealer came out and measured about a week ago and I have never heard anything back so I have pretty much eliminated them so right now I am looking at the Lopi Freedom and PE Summit, any thoughts on why I should choose one over the other, house is 2300 ft ranch Thanks again for all replies to my posts.
Still looking at inserts

I love the Lopi brand, so I'd give you the thumbs up on the Freedom, but I know folks like PE too. If you are able to see either one in real life, as in the dealer has it in the showroom and/or yours in stock, I'd go with that one, assuming you like what you see. Lopi also has some neat videos online, a tour of their factory, etc, which was kinda cool.

Good call on dumping the buck dealer. I like my buck stove, but if the dealer stinks it can make for a bad experience overall. I think you have two very good options which you will not go wrong with.
One thing to consider is the height of your flue. If you have a longer flue, then the PE may have a leg up on the other because of their extended burn technology. It helps with controllability if you have a strong draft up the flue.
Here is some reading on that particular subject.
