Amana AKS3040BWW from AppliancesDirect.com (lowest shipping + item, arrived in 8 days from Midwest). It's the only reversible 30" drop-in unit I found. The compromise when mounted lefthand is having the high-output burner in the back left and the low simmer in the front right.[Update: I've swapped the orifice spuds so that the high-output is now in the front left. The low simmer cannot be swapped because the burner head slot for the electrode is smaller]
Plumber did an excellent job teeing into the existing 1" gas line. He installed a shut-off valve for isolated testing, which I thought was shrewd and smart. I prepared for him ahead of time by providing good underfloor access and lighting, removing old unit (temporarily), making new unit fit, drilling hole through floor, and changing outlet to 120v at the last minute -- minimizing the downtime.
Cost of appliance $367 + cost of plumber $450 = total cost of $817.I should have done this years ago.
