What are the best new models for a large family?

At this point the plan is to get 2 dishwashers

I love the idea of 2 dishwashers. I always thought if I were going to have 2 dishwashers I would get a regular dishwasher and one with the pull out drawers. This would give me more options for my dishwashing needs. The regular dishwasher for larger items like pots,pans,roasting pans... The pull out drawer for those large cooking utensiles,measuring cups,bowls. Those things I use while cooking. Kinda like putting it all in the kitchen sink,then turning it ON. Could also be used for smaller loads during the week.

Drawer type...

Here's what I decided.

I got the Kenmore 1389 for my regular dishes and I'm going to get the Whirlpool GU2475XTVB for my cooking dishes (pots, pans, knives, etc.)
I still wish I could find an older KitchenAid though.
I did look at the drawer dishwashers but decided we generate enough dishes to need a whole dishwasher.

Cool! Looks like you will have great flexability with those 2 machines.
