Single fan oven & hob, one has to be 13 amp but which?

I am in the process of having a new kitchen. I currently have a slot in gas cooker I inherited with the house. The plan for the new kitchen was a single electric fan oven (Seimens IQ500 pyrolytic) and a flushline touch control induction hob.

The electrician has been today and we only have a single 32 amp cooker point and no means of having a new one installed (rest of house is already done, definitely not ripping up floors and tiles) so one of those appliances has to be 13 Amp. Looking on line it is possible to get a lesser model Seimens that is 13 amp and also a Neff hob that is. My question is, which appliance should I go the full hog and which one down grade to 13 amp?

Thanks for reading this far, this has been an education for me in electricity today! Any advice gratefully received before I trudge back to appliance showroom yet again!

ovens use less power than an induction by far.
not sure on models and inputs etc but assume all single ovens bar pyrolytic would be the same(ish) power output
our induction is on a sep circuit to the rest of the kitchen and our 2 x single ovens, f/freezer. w/machine and d/washer all run off the same circuit.
is you rcd unit that far from the kitchen?

It's not that it's too far, there just isn't a non visible route. The electrician suggested the hob on the 32 and oven on the 13, but now I see both is possible. The oven won't be pyrolytic, I can live without that, but as a cheaper model they start scrimping on number of oven shelves. just wanted to see if there was any magic solutions!

Maybe look at neff or bosch as there all the same group as seimens
you might get more shelves? do the not offer extra shelves as an optional add on?

Yes I will look at those makes too. I think I may have answered my own question, as I was hoping for a flushline hob, inset in the quartz worktop. So far my googling has not produces any 13 amp ones like that, so will have to be

32 amp hob, 13 amp cooker. Just hope it does nice roast potatoes and yorkshires!
