Go with option 1! Acoustic batts absorb about twice the amount of noise compared to regular batts.

I went with a builtin cooktop and oven at bench height. You will pay extra depending on the blanco appliance you use and also for the installation/kitchen change.

Sarking is free with Wisdom and if you choose Colorbond (no extra cost) it also comes with free anticon blanket.
