You owe it to yourself to try induction. Ikea sells an affordable single knob induction device and they're all over the world.

Unfortunately, I live in the US, and so a plug in induction range can deliver at most 1800 Watts. Though maybe it would be worth it for unlocking new techniques that require its fine grained control.

But I agree, if I am ever in a position to choose my cooktop technology, it will definitely be induction.
