We got a really nice Bosch induction hob for 700€. I installed it myself in less than an hour (the hardest part was cutting the appropriate hole in the worktop). All of our pots except one was compatible. You will only have problems with very cheap aluminum pans, or with some high end copper cookware. I don't know anyone who has copper cookware, so the problem for most people are their cheap aluminium pans and pots. You should probably replace them anyway. Most stainless steel, all cast iron or forged iron pans are compatible with induction. Induction is pretty spectacular. It's a bit different than gas, but a good induction hob is both more powerful than gas on the high end, and much better at controlling temperature at the low end. The only thing I dislike are the touch controls on most units, but I guess you can't have it all.
