Olympic / Evenheat Kiln bakeoff

[Caco]

Likely opening up Pandy's box, but after 6 months back and forth I've narrowed down to purchasing either an Olympic 3014 oval -or- same size Evenheat. Production glass tiles and bars are my focus and the occasional bowls and lampshades.

I've used both kilns, own an Olympic 14" and really happy with it and the RTC 1000 controller. As the controllers are the same, it would be beneficial to work with one mfg source. But...AM I MISSING ANYTHING here? Feedback appreciated as this is a leap

Why an oval? If you're doing production tiles it would seem that a rectangular kiln would make better use of the space?

Also, I'd add a third kiln--Skutt's--to that pile.

Thanks, it would, but space and cost play in.

Going with Evenheat, it was so close mainly because I know Olympic service is OUTSTANDING and I was willing to pay more for their kiln. But another artist I met overhead my questions when I was shopping, and offered her opinion as she has both kilns, advising that Evenheat is indeed even heat across an expansive length. And so it goes, moving from the occasional to daily!
