I have decided on the 3300. I am heating 1800 sq. ft. In central Wisconsin. I consider brand reputation, customer service, parts replacement availability and cost, ease of maintenance, over all cost, number of gaskets, ash system, cook top and more. This is only a partial list. Most manufacturers have come out with new, unproven designs as well.

That is the exact model I was drooling over this morning on their website. It's nearly identical to the Drolet Legend/Myriad II/III and looks like a very nice stove. I love the looks of it with the regular legs on it, really sharp, but I think I'd opt for the pedestal just to get the bigger ash pan...buy a set of legs later on. LOL! I love me some legs...bwahahhaaaha

I would like to see the inside of one of those, baffle system, etc.
I also like the fact that it will work down to 900 sq ft since my place is 1300 that means even in the cold I don't have to run it hard, rather on about medium low. Could care less about low burning in the shoulder season continuously. I can build short hot fires and keep the house warm, yet still have plenty of stove left not just for cold, but those long cold snaps.

Nice choice!

I guess you have to wait for the 3300 as it is not ready to ship till 9th month.nice stove by the way.
