Thanks everyone for answering all my questions. I'm the guy who couldn't decide between the PE Super and the Hampton HI300. Today I was determined to buy a stove ( I was working on 2 dealers). So I went to the dealer w/the better rep inquiring about a better price on the Hampton ( Another dealer quoted a price equal to the PE). The better dealer did not have the HI300 all black finish in stock and were not going to carry Hampton/regency line anymore. I asked if they could do any better on price for the PE, showing them the quote for the Hampton, they took $400 off the PE. That was enough to push me to the PE. the only thing that bugged me about the PE was the oversize surround was too plain. So I got a good stove, good dealer, I think a fair price ($1800 for stove and surround) should be installed properly (according to the quote) and just that plain surround.
Now I'm thinking, should I have gotten the arched door?? Maybe the screen......Oh man too many decisions. I've got to stop.
I'll post before and after pictures once installed.
Thanks!
PS: Hey, Pacific Energy I believe if you emboss the larger surround you will sell more stoves. Even the dealer agreed w/me. I'd buy one!
 
Stop! Take a deep breath. Get that thing installed and enjoy it. You will be looking at the fire and the surround will be a non-event.
 
Nice deal bsa, congratulations. Rumor is there will be an Alderlea insert by year end. Perhaps the surround will be interchangeable with the Super?
