The kitchen in our new house in Florida is being wired and plumbed as I
type this. We finally persuaded the developer to accept our plans for
the cooking equipment and cabinets, including a 50-amp line for the
five-burner induction cooktop. Yay!
Since they're an all-GE builder, we're going with:

and

One nice point of the Monogram induction cooktop is that it allows
removal of the pan for up to 30 seconds before shutting the burner off
-- that's about the longest I've heard of. Five burners, 19 steps each
(including low-warm), pan-size sensors, and 3700 watts for the biggest
burner (11-inch).
The only downside is that all those beautiful but heavy, 3.5mm copper
pans I've hauled back from Dehillerin in Paris over the years will
either have to go, or be used only on the outdoor gas grill. But hey,
that's a great excuse for picking up a few Demeyere induction-capable pans!
We're getting 36" wide pots & pans drawers on both sides of the cooktop
and oven, but still trying to figure out how to replace the hanging
racks over the bay window of our present kitchen

We should be closing in early January, so we'll see how going all
induction works out...
