HI all - in comparing them I can see the specifics and it seems both will heat a similar amount of space and have other similarities. Can anyone speak to how they may be different to operate, ease of use, etc?

One is soapstone, one is cast iron. The Mansfield is less radiant and slower to warm. Some call this soft heat. The stones will slowly realease heat as the fire dies down. This can make for less temp swing between loading cycles. The Manchester is a highly radiant stove. It will heat up faster and is better for large areas where line-of-sight heating is beneficial.
