I'm not certain that the Advantium is the same one I tried. My sister's model is a standard-style range-top with oven underneath. You can use it as a regular oven but it has the convection option. It also has a feature that recalculates the cooking time when convection is used.
I'm a renter right now, so it's not an issue, but if I were investing in a stove for the next 10-20 years, I would consider the extra dollars for a convection feature well-spent. It's faster, better and so great to not burn your arms while repositioning hot pans - the savings in skin grafts makes it pay for itself.
