As regard to convection or not, I know a lot has been said on the subject,
and people have their opinions. I was very skeptical about convection... to
the point I just didn't want it. But all of the really "neat" ovens had
convection, so that is the direction we went on both units. I've got to say
I was pig headed, because that is a great feature. And of course you don't
need to turn the convection on if you don't want to, but even if you don't
it comes on during preheat which shortens that time considerably. The one we
got has an automatic convection compensation, which made learning the new
settings a breeze.
Just some extra info for OP
