No, it was the BSO. But thanks for the reminder to time my fullsize.
[Edit #1] The fullsize electric oven took 7:35, but it probably would've been a bit shorter because: (a) that oven is in an unheated basement; and (b) the oven had a couple sheet pans stored in there. I'll run it again, but I'm guessing it would be more like 7:00 all things being equal. So, 5:00 for the BSO (Oh, and that probably was with the fan on) and 7:00 for the fullsize? The way I cook, apprx. 2 minutes' time savings isn't a powerful argument. Distance from the elements/positioning flexibility is more important to me. But I bought the BSO to serve as my only oven at the cabin, and it plays that role well.
[Edit #2] OK, so starting from room temp and empty, my cheapo builder's grade coil range's oven preheats to 400F in 5:48. So I would save <1 minute in preheat time by choosing the BSO.
