My wife wanted the Jotul 274. So we went to the stove supplier and I asked her to open and close the door and play with the air controls. She hated it, it was awkward and she had to bend down to reach, I also pointed out that the controls would confuse the hell out of my mother who is often at our house.Sen.

++ on that. Some things are universal. Buy the one that the wife likes, it will be the focal point of whatever room that it is installed.
So she tried the Morso and found it far easier to use, although she prefers the look of the Jotul. She doesnt want the 250 because she says it looks like a spaceman's helmet
She wants the Morso.
