Gas vs Electric range for cooking
I've upgraded to a gas (propane) range and its fantastic. You have total heat control and the stove top can be used during power outages. My range has an electric top element in the oven so that even though gas does all of the heating, the electric top element will brown nicely. With gas if you have a boil over, just switch off the gas and it stops immediately without having to move the pot.

Gas vs Electric range for cooking
Thanks for the input guys. I do 95% of the cooking so the range is pretty much for me. My wife is afraid of gas, but we've lived with gas furnaces and hot water heaters since we were married. So I don't really understand the issue.
A couple of years ago, we upgraded our pots & pans to a nice set of Analon. That made a big difference in cooking. That was on an older GE basic electric range. So I'd like to step up with this new range. I should measure the length of gas line and get a quote on what it will cost to have gas run to the range spot.
I hate cleaning the stove so I like the idea of better temp control w/ gas or the easier cleaning of the smoothtop.
KT - yeah, got a house finally. Long & painful saga. But only 1 acre. I'm waiting for spring to see if keeping teh 4310 makes sense. I really missed it this February when I suddenly had to clean a driveway coated in ice because it wasn't maintained since the house was empty until we bought it. That sucked. I may go get the tractor tomorrow if I can get the garage cleaned up enough to find space for it.

Gas vs Electric range for cooking
I have both, a smooth top at the cabin and gass at my house. I thought I would try and move on with the "jones"es", buy that electric smooth top (ok actually, it was cheaper and easier to put in at the cabin, but, it sounded good)
What I found was that after I HAD to buy pots and pans that were perfectly flat on the bottom made for the electric smooth tops, that , the electric was not soo great a deal after all.
I can not stand that I can not see the heat I am pouring on the cooking surfaces. I do 99% of my cooking and can honestly say that I dont think I would be as good at not making mistakes if I had to use electric all the time.
I do know a few folks that would beg to differ with me and feel they could not cook on the other one?
Good luck with your new house

We have a 5-burner gas Wolf cooktop and love the low-simmer feature. Also have a RangeMaster popup exhaust fan that works well.
Our oven is a gas Jenn-Air convection oven.
One of the Wolf burners had problems and was replaced under warranty after 3 months of use.

We have a smooth top (white) GE electric. I do most all of the cooking and I like it fine especially when it comes to clean up. So far no scratches or problems after 4 years.
I have heard a lot of people say they like gas better for cooking but we have never had gas available so have always had electric.
