I would say the main reasons to get induction are that it's faster, more efficient, heats up the room less, easier to clean, better for simmering, maybe safer with kids. The cleaner air is a side benefit.

We recently switched to induction from only ever using gas and its a bit of a revelation. So much cleaner and easier to clean. Wouldn't go back.

What are everyone’s thoughts on gas hobs and benzene emissions?
We have an old Smeg range cooker with gas hobs, see no reason to replace it other than the recent spate of articles citing yank research linking gas cookers to high benzene emissions.
Does this only affect leaking/badly-adjusted hobs, or is this a serious issue that warrants weighing in the Smeg & getting a leccy induction hob?
