BK insert Ashford vs Princess

[creek chub]

I’m getting quotes on a new insert. The installer recommended the Ashford. After reading many review I had sort of started leaning towards the Princess. The Ashford does look nicer but curious if there’s a noticeable heat output /efficiency difference?

All things being equal would I likely regret getting the Ashford?

Thanks

I assume most responses here will ask about your anticipated use, placement, etc. The Princess certainly extends across the hearth more, presumably leading to more radiant heat. With blowers on I'm not sure how different they would be.

I'll just note that the Ashford insert is extremely attractive in person -- it looks better than I expected, and aesthetic was one of the major drivers when we were looking at options.

Do you have an Ashford?
