How about calling Picard or their local rep. Also, I recommend checking out the Bread Bakers Guild of America, bbga.org. Their membership includes many independent bakers and bakery owners who can probably help you with an oven choice.

I remember looking at these ovens. Pricey! I found American Baking Systems here in the states. A four deck oven for under 30,000. Plus when I called the owner talked to me about the ovens. He spent alot of time going over the ovens and about running a bakery in general. He gave me alot to think about. Never once was he rushed to hang-up even when I told him I wouldnt be buying anything for another 5 years. Their ovens are simple and well constructed with quality materials. Independent heating controls encased in ceramic. Just check them out and give the guy a call. Picard sure do look fancy but I dont care what the oven looks like. I care what my bread looks like! ABS are in the american culinary school, panera breads, and countless more commercial bakery departments. You want to pay for good looks or a good oven?
