In grandmother's house the cabinets were at least 3' above the counter-top.
Ideally her setup would have had more space to the side of the flip-down burners (for food prep) - two burners would have been enough for me.
I really dug the dual french-door ovens - and everything stainless as well.
Reminded me a little of the house where I grew up - stainless steel counters & back-splash - continuous formed, no seam, everything angled to the commercial sink as well (easy to clean).
No, you don't. Really. You don't.
Our cupboards are installed right above the burners, so there's just enough room to sneak a pot onto the burner, but not enough to stir or serve from. Also, no range hood. Just some stainless with a lip that comes out. Powered vent is above the cupboards in the soffit. It also means that you can't use the counter in front of the burners for much of anything.
We thought the stuff was pretty cool when we moved in. I still think it's cool, except when it comes to using it. Now we hate it. Someday, if I ever rip it out, I'll post it on a free Monday and you can have it.

Grandmother had two of those wall ovens, stainless with French doors.
The counter that ran between them held the flip down burners.
Wish I'd had that setup.

General Motors wall oven and flip down electric stovetop/burners. Built into the kitchen in the 60s. Very futuristic :quotes:. Replacement will require entire kitchen remodel.
