We have a new gas cooktop - we also looked up about the electric ones, but since the existing one was gas, we didn't know how much more it would cost to add wires across the house. It's pretty good and there are a few things you can't do with electric (like roasting a sheet of seaweed), but in general I think they're more or less comparable. One problem with gas is that so much heat is lost to the rising hot air - in addition to inefficiency, it makes all the pot handles burning hot, so I always need to have mittens ready. Never had the problem when I had electric.
