I really like my old model much better for multiple reasons.  1st, the pan sensor option I loved.  2nd, I cannot stand the musical buttons.  3rd, if one burner is on, you cannot take a dripping wet lid off your pot and lay it upside down on the stovetop or the burner you lay it on beeps or something.  Doesn't make sense to me.  I also do not like the Chrome strips on the edges but that's all that available at the time.  They are already scratched up.  Other than all that I guess it's ok.  My old one couldn't be fixed so this was a replacement.
