There aren't that many products available for that really, not without raising the height of the cabintes and countertop above 35", which I did not want to do.

So... I ended up purchasing a Summit twin tap unit. I figured even if I have to make a few modifications I'll still finish ahead of where I'd be with Marvel. I gather from reading through the forum here this is a bit of a crap shoot. Many people complain of problems, and others not so much. In any event, I'm confident I'll work it out one way or another. I'll let you know.
In my experience, people generally start visiting sites like this when they have problems, with anything. MOST people don't look for advice or report when they have no problems. I bet the majority of Summit owners are quite pleased. I think your odds are better than a crap shoot. Most likely you'll probably want to add a blower/fan to cool the tower and that's about it.

"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
