Shopping for new oven

It looks like 2025 is going to be the year I get a new oven. I have a MM PS 350 (not a 360) with a brow hood. The 350 has served me well, but its performance is slowly degrading and I cannot get a consistent even bake no matter what parts I replace. I've increased gas pressure, had it cleaned, replaced fingers, changed valves, computers, etc. I think the last thing left to do is replace the blower motors, but I don't want to go there. Time to go shopping!

The path of least resistance (so it seems to me) is to get a used 360. It should fit my current setup exactly, meaning no change to hood and minimal retrofit of the ansul system. However, my chef has questioned if the we are just trading one problem for another, since the 360 isn't exactly "new" either. I get where he's coming from, but I also know that sometimes (e.g. Hobart) it's better to get the older equipment than the newer equipment.

So, I put it to you, if you were in my place, what brand/model of oven would you be shopping for?
 
I love my Edge 3240. I might look at 3260 at our new location for more volume. Quality ovens and no problems after 4 years except for a controller. They overnighted a new one no charge and I installed it in 10 minutes. They even gave a trick to fool the controller that night so I could open.
 
I got an edge 3260 in 2022. $15,000 shipped. Pizza Solutions. 5 years full warranty. Easy to clean; 1.5 hours 2 people. 500 degrees 5 minutes.

If your going to be doing this for another 5 to 10 years, I think you should by new and take care of it.

How many decks did you get?
 
Just 1. Thats 87 14" pizzas an hour at 5 minutes. I considerd 2 40's, but I don't have a heat rack, and most of my crew could not reach the top of 2 ovens.

I'm getting pricing on an edge now, but we're pretty sure that means a new hood too.
 
I will definitely will need a new ventilation system if I go with Edge. That makes the total cost of the Edge about double that of just getting the MM. But you guys seem pretty excited about this Edge oven, so tell me more! Make me feel comfortable plunking down that much money.
