Hi Suz-

    In selecting a PMC kiln, the thing that's most important is finding
    a programmable one with a digital pyrometer (unless you love hanging
    out while your kiln is ramping and firing.) Personally, I have a
    Paragon SC-2 (with the bead door and viewing window), and I'm rather
    happy with it, but I've heard great things about the Sierras as well.
    Other than that, you just want to make sure the inner chamber has
    enough room to do the kinds of work you wish to do. As far as bead
    door and viewing window go, those are probably a good idea if you
    plan on also doing bead annealing and/or enameling. Also, you want to
    go with a company that stands by their product, just in case you have
    an issue with your kiln. 

    Bottom line, as long as it has a digital pyrometer and can be
    digitally programmed, you should be AOK.
