Elkimmeg if you would take a look at the stove in this link I'd appreciate it. Seller is calling it a "Franklin Resolute."
It looks a little like a VC to me so I was hoping you could tell me if it might be an older version of the VC Resolute or if there actually was a Franklin Resolute.

To change the subject slightly, FEO somebody has got 25 new in box VC Seville's for sale CHEAP on ebay if anyone cares. It looked tempting to me until I searched here and found your post saying it'd been discontinued & wasn't such a great stove. Thanks for all the good information.

The Seville was an ok stove, no problems that I really remember. Just wasn't a popular model. Personally I thought the thing was ugly.
 
Seville was discontinued about 4/5 years back. It was not a popular seller and when it came time for re-certification the decision was made to drop production
However at 699 it starts looking like an alternative option. The same seller was selling then not that long ago fo $899.
also Vc did not need two stoves in the same heat range t it is about the same as the Intrepid II
 
Thanks guys. Yes it looks like a heck of a deal. I think I've decided to head out to my local Lowe's today instead and pick up one of the half-price Centurys instead, even cheaper. (At least I'll quit asking questions about stoves :) )
