If you want an honest opinion, I think you're looking too deep into things. Ice maker that consumes half the space? Seriously? Is your life that monotonous?

Buy a $1k fridge and be done with it. It'll keep your shit cold and your life simple. Take your wife on a cruise to some exotic, poverty-ridden island with the other $9k.

Your soul will appreciate that much more than it would an extra 80 cubic inches in the freezer.

Maybe you are deluding yourself. No offense. /rant
