Well I ended up going with the HT3000, we will soon find out if it will withstand the test of time.

I ended up going with the Osburn 3500. Mine is an insert.

Have you installed yours yet? Let us know how it's going so far. I will be finishing my install when the weather breaks, as I still need to go on the roof and install my liner and that is not happening with a snow covered 45° tilt roof. Maybe we can compare experiences after using each stove for a while.
 
My research in these showed both stove tops being identicle, even for the newer models, and all models of each, at 5/16” steel stoves tops. Just looked at each website and confirmed it...at least comparing each brands largest models...both have 5/16” steel tops.
