Which format under counter oven for new kitchen?

New kitchen cannot have any tower units so a new oven needs to be accomodated under the counter. However I need more than a single conventional oven, so am trying to find the best solution to achieve this.

First thought is a built under double oven which are the usual 60cm wide. This would be the best space saving option but I'm a bit dubious as to whether or not the main oven will be large enough to pass the large turkey test. I need to be able to have three shelves that can be used at the same time when cookign a large roast. Smeg do a built under double which on paper seems to be pretty capacious, but i've not yet been able to have a look at one in a showroom. This option would allow me to put the induction hob elsewhere on the counter so the oven isn't blocked when you're standing cooking.

Second possible option is a built-in mini range oven - 90cm wide - 3 ovens. Induction hob is obviously part of this oven - that's ok, but actually I don't really want such a large hob (don't need five stoves and takes up more counter space than i'd like). Is it at all possible to have a built in mini-range without hob - does such a thing exist?

Third option which I've written off is to have a regular oven and put a combi microwave oven next to it. I don't want to have to bend down for a microwave - so that really rules that out.

Are there any other options or configurations that I've not thought about which might acheive what I need - top end of budget circa £1500.

thanks!

I've got 2 single ovens side by side with an induction hob over the top. Works brilliantly for me.

I've ordered two single ovens for my new kitchen.

Its the same as 2 x single ovens side by side in one unit at 1137mm wide, around £1100-1200.
you would get a better selection having 2 single ovens for that price.
1 all singing and dancing and one a little lower.

I have a 900 wide Kuppersbusch but it is quite shallow. I would go for 2 x 600 mm side by side. I have a 900 wide induction hob but it has 4 cooking sections which take different size pans on each one. I think the 900 wide ones look good.

Same as rhubarb here too.
