I went right from an electric coil stove (25 years old) to this induction model and love it! First of all, clean-up is a dream. Water boils in no time and the surface never stays hot for very long, even when the stove is warning about hot surfaces. The oven is huge, but that also means that bottom storage is pretty small (used to store pots and pans in the old stove but now can only fit baking sheets). One issue is the front controls, which are VERY sensitive to being leaned on. I've turned things on a number of times already just reaching over the stove...
