I always use the convection option to roast meats but rarely use it to bake cookies, breads, cakes, etc. I only use it for baked goods if I’m doing a lot of items at once because it allows for better heat distribution between sheet pans, etc. I feel the convection mode is good for getting oven fries crisper too. I also follow the 25 degree rule when I use the convection option.
I don’t think I’d buy an oven that didn’t have a convection option.
