Thanks for pointing this out. I only looked at major features, such
as presence of convection or a second owen. When you look at the same
line, like PLG, they are just adding these features along with
increasing the price. Apparently, when comparing different lines,
it's more complicated... Such as in this case, they packed this FLF
with advanced major features, but it didn't put it into a different
line (It would be good to know what exactly determins the line). For
comparison, a PLG w/o the second owen costs only $100 less (MSRP).
