You can fit pretty much anything in the french door/freezer below models. The only thing we have found is that sometimes you can end up piling a bunch of stuff in the freezer and you forget what's at the bottom of the pile until you dig down and find that something is 2 or 3 yrs old! My wife the Mechanical Engineer also states that freezer-under models are more efficient because cold air naturally sinks.

I guess that would be based on where the compressor is located. A bottom mounted compressor next to a bottom freezer should technically be much less energy efficient.
