Strictly from its "ability to cook" induction brings electric cooking up to par with gas(full range heating wise). My brother is a professional chef and wouldn't cook on a non inductive cooktop for anything. I think the full cook top units are still being marketed to the "foodies" who are willing to pay for induction and not the energy conscious where the one/two burner units are aiming. Unless the price comes down a lot or I snag a bargain one I will opt for a smaller counter top model. I cook a lot of one, two pot meals anyway. Less dishes to wash. Energy saved in cooking can come from what and how you cook as much as on what you cook it. My brother can cook for hours and use a dozen pans to just fill one plate(and I won't say its not delicious) but I can cook several meals worth of something in a single stock pot which is fine for me. If it wasn't for a half dozen family meals a year I doubt I would even really need a full range.
