OMG! Imperials!! The washer sells for $2700 up here, I couldn't justify spending the extra $800 to get the stainless steel cabinets... They look great!!!
I'm actually VERY happy that you took a picture of the washer next to your rear control washer. Now I know I didn't go wrong buying rear control. (The rear control ones were also cheaper than front control, not sure why.)
From what I've seen, the tub looks pretty much the same on the rear control as it is on the Imperials.
So, Jetcone, are you going to the get the pedestals for the Imperials?
