The look is a minor consideration comapared to the smoothtop's performance
advantages. There is no need to adapt your cooking procedures if you're coming
from electric cooktops, except to adjust for quicker response when you change
the heat setting.
And you may find, as some of us have, that despite its still quicker response,
gas is a disappointment, and is not worthwhile. We had the opportunity to have
gas run in last year as part of a group in our townhouses, and declined.
