Looking into it and getting apprehensive. Some sites and friends said they've used cast iron on theirs before and it works fine, but then some reviews of similar ranges say it's bad to use cast iron, and a similar range's manual (can't confirm it's the same model) recommends against cast iron.
But the only major issue I can find is that it's easier to scratch the cooking surface.

i think that's going to be the crux of the entire concept. heat is heat. electric isn't going to do anything differently to the pan that gas won't. in fact, electric is a more even heat, where gas has notable hot spots, so if there were any worries about cracking the cast iron due to uneven heating, gas is down a notch...
as i tell the new guys "don't tell the tool what it's working on, and it'll be fine."
