Skip partying for a weekend or two, take the couple hundred bucks you saved, head down to the local Sears outlet store and buy a new stove with a scratch or two. I picked up a ceramic top stove from there a couple years ago for less than half of retail and you can't even see the ding.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I think you missed one,  what about the funky burnt copper redish/brown color.
