After long researching and seeking your advice here, I have decided on the PE Summit, and it now sits on my basement floor. I had it down to the Buck 74, the Summit, and the Quad 5700. The best deal for the money was definitely the Summit, so that is what I ultimately decided on. I am sure it will be a great stove, and can't wait to get it all set up and ready to burn in the fall (or first chance I get!).
I got it shipped to my door for around $1950, and figured I couldn't go wrong with that price. Could have gotten the Buck for about $200 less, but it is a smaller stove with larger clearances, so didn't make sense.
Now, I just have to get it installed, will get going on that in June sometime, and cutting some wood! Can't wait, it has been about at least 11 years since I have burned wood in our home. I plan on doing the install myself so i will probably be seeking advice in the near future!
