Any particular reason you want a double oven? An alternative could be a single oven and a microwave with an oven for when you need the two ovens.
I've used a few gas ovens in holiday places and the like and, although they no longer seem to have singe your eyebrows lighting, they didn't seem to cook that well.

As a counterpoint, we just got rid of a rangemaster 90cm dual fuel, which ran off a 13amp socket...

Gas ovens are bollocks (though not as shit as oil burner ones. Fuck that noise).
Internal temperatures are way too variable within the oven - Leccy & fan, every teim.
I'm a convert to induction hobs too, and our new kitchen with be leccy all the way. Gas just doesn't have the same functionality, and the perceived downsides for induction don't actually seem to exist in reality.
Double ovens ftw. You have to be able to bake a pie at the same time as roasting potatoes.

thanks for the tips all.
does anyone have any strong feelings on gas vs dual fuel when it comes to cookers?
we're about to move and need new white goods as we chucked our old shit in with our flat.
I have a sneaking suspicion our new place doesn't have a proper cooker switch and every double oven cooker I've looked at pulls more than the 3kw limit for a normal plug socket by quite some margin.
gas ovens kinda scare me as i'm only used to the old deathtrap style ones that never lit properly from my poverty childhood but i'm not sure if an all gas oven (or one with just an electric grill that is ok to plug in) would be just as good if not better than gas hob/electric oven?
