Ok I have narrowed down my stove selection to the Napoleon 1450 or 1400, the 1400 must be the pedestal version. I understand that they are almost the same stove, but there are a few key differences I am hung up on. First is the ash tray. I am thinking I want the ash tray for the ease of cleaning, but is it that beneficial? Next is the Louvres. I like the idea of having that extra metal there to act as shielding in case of accidental touching (children and such), but is this thinking flawed? Do the Louvers get just as hot as a normal stove top? I like the idea of the Louvres and ash tray, but I am not sure if these two options are worth the +$300 extra. Also please note I do not care for or like all the gold/silver trim and webbed door the 1400 offers. My last question is the P and PL models of the 1400's. From what I can see the 1400'Ps are the cheapest. How do they differ from all the other models of the 1400? Thanks
