My only issue with induction hobs is that they’re not really suited for wok cooking, especially stir-frying (I’m a fan of Asian cuisine). Otherwise, they’re much better than gas hobs.

It's a valid point (nothing is perfect), but as I've just said to Justin, much depends on the overall skills of the cook, and the methods applied during the whole cooking process, in terms what the food's like you'll end up eating, and of course in that respect, there are many variables.
All I can say is that having tasted my wife's wok-cooked Chinese food, pre and post gas hob, I can detect no degradation in the quality of her stir-fries!
One thing that's essential with woks is that they must be 'well-seasoned'. You should NEVER wash a wok in the conventional manner, but simply rinse with water and wipe clean with a piece of kitchen towel, leaving the surface lightly coated in sesame oil, or whatever. This is crucial to imparting the right flavour on food, whenever cooking with a wok.

I've had my AEG induction hob for about 3 years now and I'm still amazed how quick it is to heat up pans. I chose the AEG after lots of research, including Miele and others, as it was one of the most powerful, the rings range from 1.4kw up to a massive 3.7kw, but even the 1.4 one goes up to 2.5kw if required
I do a fair bit of wok cooking and the best induction wok I found was the AMT one and it's fantastic to cook with and I think it will outlast me it's so well made, ok you can't move it around like a traditional wok but as it's heavy you wouldn't want to really, I now use it instead of a frying pan as well as it cooks so well.. this one:

Does cast iron cookware (e.g. Le Creuset) work on an induction system? And does the bottom of the pot or pan have to be dead-flat (i.e. full contact) in order to work?
We're going to be replacing our electric range in the coming year, and induction certainly looks appealing. Gas would be second choice, but would mean running a line into the kitchen, adding a lot of cost.
