I quickly replaced the gas with induction and am now enjoying it once again. The only downside for induction is you have to have induction ready cookware - but really it's not that hard these days. Cookware and more has all-clad seconds and if you sign up for their email newsletter they run a sale - buy one, get a second 50% off - it's how I built my collection. Made In is a medium quality alternative - made in Italy. For affordability, Tramontina is surprisingly good. You can find it at Walmart, Costco and other places. It's not quite as dense as Made In or All Clad but any clad cookware is way better than anything with a damn disk in it.
