Also, if you decide to change brands check where the outside vent is located. I have helped a few neighbors, staying with the same brand the vent location appears to be fine, however change brands and the location can be off. The last one was almost an inch different, off center. We could not move the vent opening in the wall, so had to do some customization on the interface between the microwave and the wall vent. Also, the mounting holes vary between brands, so you will need new holes in the cabinets.
