Its just the 2 of us, so we really don't need anything very large. This one is on the short list:

I agree, you don't need two upper doors on a normal sized unit. Pointless, makes it less useful.
As for bending over to reach stuff, either you bend over to reach something in the freezer (once in a blue moon) or you bend over to reach something in the vegetable/fruit compartment every freaking day. Hopefully. If you eat fruit and vegetables, which you should. Really. Ask your wife.
Now is a good time to assess how you use a fridge. Given your extensive traveling, you may have noticed that Americans have a huge fridge, full of god-knows-what and other people in the world have a small one, if they have one at all. The difference is, we store crap we don't need and we shop infrequently, thinking we can make something last in the fridge for a week, or freeze it and make it last forever. The rest of the world goes and buys what they will cook for the next meal, then they cook it. They don't refrigerate it for days, or freeze it at all.
Think like a European, or an Asian, and eat better.
