My home kitchen (Evobean's)

You tend to have far more cooking functions with a single combi set up, also if one appliance breaks down you have the other to rely on, removing the separate microwave also frees up storage space which by the looks of it would benefit your design.

I would say the only benefit you have with the separate microwave is that you have 3 cooking facilities but in my opinion not many people would really find this beneficial over the above points.

That's a fair comment. I've always been used to microwaves, and never really had much joy with a combi. I've never got my head around how a combi works as a normal microwave though to be honest!

Storage wise isn't an issue, we've got more than enough - we'll no doubt have empty units for a while:

1. 900 drawers
   
2. 150 pullout
   
3. 2x 1000 corners
   
4. Half a 450
   
5. 500 cupboard
   
6. 2x 600 bridging units
   
7. 500 wall
   
8. 300 tall
   
9. Oven housing cupboard
   
10. 500 tall (in utility)
    
11. 600 wall (in utility)
    

We've then got a big under the stairs pantry we're not sure what to do with.
