Which induction stove top to buy?

Hey everyone, just looking for recommendations for an induction stove top to buy. Currently have a Westinghouse 60cm gas which is on its last legs.

My current front runner is the Bosch series 6 60cm. It seems to tick the boxes I require and I like that you can bridge the two left zones together for a larger cooking area.
Link to the specific model I’m viewing: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/bosch-black-series-6-induction-cooktop-60cm.html

Also looking at similar models from Westinghouse, IKEA (HOGKLASSIG) and Asko. All are at a similar price point ($1300 for Bosch, Westinghouse, $1200 for Ikea, $1520 for Asko). But leaning toward the Bosch after conducting some research.

Would love some opinions and reviews. Especially from anyone who has this exact Bosch unit.

My other question is about the change over from gas to induction. I’ve consulted my local O’Briens, as they are the only place locally that seems to do both the electrical work and gas cap off (I require installation of the new unit + a new wire running from the fuse box to the stove top. No upgrades on the fuse box required).
They have quoted $1,358 for the work, which seems high from what I’ve read online / in this sub. I’ve seen many people say they had the same work done for about $500 (noting this was about 2 years ago). Does the quote I received look high? Should I try to negotiate it or look elsewhere?

Lastly, I’ll need some new cookware after the upgrade as not all of my cookware is induction compatible and being honest, a lot of it is due for an upgrade anyway. Would appreciate some suggestions thrown in as well!
