Many thanks for all replies- upon further investigation I found out
that the reason the manufacurer recommends the high volume output is
not so much for the every day cooking, but for what happens when you
burn something (or get a spill) around a high BTU flame. that's when
you want to evacuate as much air as possible as fast as possible. But,
it also means that instead of getting a simple on/off vent, the
variable speed is essential that way you don't stress your hvac. (of
course, we almost kept our steam radiators - which would have allowed
you to vent out as much heat as you wanted without "stress" -- fuel
bills, that's another matter).
