Please Explain "FAKE" Professional Ranges

It goes beyond cosmetics. There are features and options on those ranges
that aren't always available on other models: dual ovens, dual fuel,
more than 4 burners, built in grill, built in griddle. If you want a
48" range with several of the above in it, you're probably not going
to be buying it at Sears or Best Buy.
But you're correct that they aren't commercial equipment. It is worth
noting that true commercial restaurant ranges may have far fewer 'features'
than those 'pro-style' ranges. That's because a working restaurant kitchen
is going to have a separate appliance for those purposes, such as a
mandolin, grill or griddle. But unless you make pancakes for 50 regularly,
what do you need an 18" X 24" griddle surface for? :-)
