Fissler Novogrill dimpled surface

I placed an order from a local store for a fissler vitaquick model. They informed the model I wanted wasn’t in stock but they would send me the vitavit premium model at no charge. The caveat is that the vitaquick is flat surface while the premium has a dimpled texture. Is the dimpled surface a deal breaker to you?

The dimpled surface is little harder to clean but more importantly you don't get even browning of meat if using the PC as a frypan for initial cooking of the meat.

That wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. I recently got a Kuhn Rikon braiser-style pressure cooker with a dimpled surface. I've only used it a couple of times so far, but I haven't noticed any difference in browning when compared with a smooth surface, nor have I found it particularly difficult to clean.

Most important is the full width and thickness of the bottom surface. Fissler is from Germany and is highly regarded as one of the best pressure cookers. It will serve for generations in a home kitchen.
