Harman Accentra vs Quad Fire Santa Fe help! Movede to pellet stove forum!

[ejames]

I have read a lot, but still can't decide...
Harman Accentra $3800

Quad Fire Santa Fe $2150

Want to heat large beam ceiling family room/kitchen fairly open floor plan, around 1400 sqft (bedrooms added gets up to 2000 upstairs). Have existing wood stove that takes forever to get started + too much hassle with wood. The postings are mixed on the Santa Fe ability to heat and efficiency. Is the Harman that much quieter? More reliable? Easier to take care of?

Am I foolish to not want to heat the bedrooms so much (we do have propane forced air)?

Thanks!
