I shall start my search, also is there any way to get a hold of the Italian version as apparently the Deliza version is not as good :)

I bought mine from the Italian Amazon site but I've no idea which version it is. I wouldn't get too hung up on which version is better tbh - they're all good and a huge improvement over a regular oven even with only minor/easy mods. On the same note, to get the absolute best results you'll want to massively mod all models too so... It doesn't really matter too much :)

I would like to mod them and I don't mind the heatshield/reflector mods (As and when I find instructions :D) but the thermostat mod/extra heater and stone rotate mod do un-nerve me slightly (Fire risk and what not) :)
 
After reading the thread more thoroughly I did wonder how black and white the g3 advantage over a fan oven is versus the wood fired reference.
Although the air temp in the g3 and stone surface is higher than a fan oven, the fan oven will be pushing hot air across the top of the pizza like draft on wood fired oven during cooking, and also the stone in the fan oven (given the electricity expended on pre-heat) will be thoroughly heat soaked unlike the g3 mainly on the stone surface.
... I am now considering a g3 myself but wanted to understand the pros/cons.

[the more expensive Italian g3 version just seems to have a stainless steel top ... is that all ?)

The more expensive G3 model has a detachable stone on the top lid as well (Apparently for paninos ?), other than that I think they're the same.

Also I didn't realise it had a stainless steel lid though as would this mean you wouldn't need to mod the foil lid on the top?
 
I looked at post 7 and 20, which had some explanation on model variants
(then looking/translating the Napoli variant on Amazon.it >£100 , it's spec confirmed stainless)
since the stainless / post7 pic looked shiny the benefits of additional reflector looked
dubious ?
saw this

First of all, to have good reflectivity in the IR part of the spectrum, you need to have very flat surfaces, so you will need a polished surface. Stated that, Aluminium has far better reflection than steel. When not oxidixed. You can have reflectivities of up to 97%, with 92-95% easily attainable, while with steel a reflectivity of 90% is a very good value. Unfortunately, the reflectivity of oxidixed aluminium can be as bas as 70% and unprotected aluminium oxides much faster than stainless steel

Ahh, I see what you mean as I too have got confused between the models. Considering that even from the Italian site the Napoli version is almost double the price of the Chinese version I guess it depends as if you're going to mod the oven it should make very little difference (Apparently it is recommended to remove the plastic handles if you add extra elements as it can melt them on the new model)
 
Okay so last question on the Pizza ovens (I promise :D)
Which one is better for me to buy as I think I've found ther original verions.
So the G3 Ferrari G10006 the best or the Optima 2XP09700 "Happy Hour", I'm baffled as the Optima looks like the older moddle of the G3 (Before the termostat thing changed)
 
I've no idea sorry. I'd guess that the older model/Optima is better but that's just based on various safeguards being introduced in some (not necessarily these) newer pizza ovens to reduce the temperature.

Dam, I'm confused as after looking although it is an older it isn't the one recommended on the Italian forums so I'm still lost :(

All I wanted was a decent pizza oven :)
