All I can say is ... counter space WAS an issue for me. After years of being in a 23' Eclipse Attitude with nearly ZERO counter space ... counter/work space was ESSENTIAL. And you're right ... we went with a Voltage 3905. The island is large and provides TONS of work space. The elevated top portion of the island allows for additional work space also. It has been wonderful.
FYI ... the double fridge and huge pantry allow us to shop without any worries. We have NEVER hesitated in selecting our groceries and houseware needs. And we have left Fred Meyer's with a $338 grocery/home stuff receipt recently.
