I chose induction rather than convert to gas during a kitchen remodel. The ability to control temperature with this technology is awesome! Even though this model was expensive and I had to buy new induction-ready cookware, the overall cost was still cheaper than it would have been to pipe in gas. I went with the more expensive Cafe version to get the nicer flagstone gray color and swipe controls for the heat level, but I think GE is charging far too much for those extra features when compared to the equivalent GE Profile model.

This cooktop came with a Hestan Cue "Smart" frying pan. It's fun because it uses bluetooth to communicate with the cooktop and maintain a precise set temperature. I don't find myself reaching for it all that often and would have preferred the griddle that is designed to fit the bridge elements on the left side of the cooktop.
