Diane--I have the little PE, the Vista Insert, heading into its fourth winter. It's a great little stove (obviously way too small for your needs, but it's what fit in my fireplace). It's been easy to use (one lever to control the draft and that's it) and puts out a lot of heat for its size. I've been very happy with it. Incidentially, my brother in law has a house in Vermont with a Winterwarm Large and I have had fun playing with it when I've been up there (he has no clue about stoves). It really cranks out the heat but with 3 levers to control it (draft, damper, and I've never been able to figure out the third) it's definitely more complicated than a PE insert.
