Trying to decide between the Lopi Greenfield or Jotul GF 500 DV Portland direct vent gas stove to replace 25 year old Dovre Sapphire that I can no longer get replacement parts for.
Both of these units have about 10,000 more BTU than my current one, but I was told that wouldn’t be a problem because there’s a turn down feature if I want. I just can’t decide on which one I should get with the Lopi only having the Millivolt option and the Jotul having Millivolt or electronic option.
I cannot find many reviews on either brand so was wondering if anyone had any experience with either of these

I am also wondering if electronic option is reliable? I’m use to the millivolt and standing pilot however concerned that the millivolt option will be hard to service if manufacturers stop making
