The stainless steel baffle box which protects the blanket in the PE is a great feature along with the knife edge seal and the roller pin on the door which gives a super tight seal. The air wash system in the PE keeps the glass looking brand new allowing you to see the beautiful fire is a huge plus. IMO Pacific Energy is the best stove going right now.The T5 is a beast and you would not be disappointed with it.

You won't make a bad decision with either stove. Both are excellent heaters. Get the one you like the best.
