This brings back memories. I put a 42" Zephr undercabinet hood over a 36" 6 burner Blue Star. Couldnt be happier. Stock is 650 cfm and you can add another blower for 1200 if required. I figured I would try as is and so far I dont need it. I think it really depends on how/what you cook. I can sear 2 steaks in a smoking hot pan and the hood keeps up. I never sear steaks on all the burners at once or use 3 wok's at a time, maybe you do.
I played with height a bit too. I ended up mocking one up with cardboard and kept raising it up until I didnt hit my head when reaching to the back burners, real scientigic. I'm ~6'3 and at 30" over the range it would smack me in the head, that would get old quick. I think the guides are just that, nothing is in stone. Maybe I have to use speed 2 now instead of 1 because its a little higher, that doesnt bother me at all.
