We did the same thing, bought a one-burner counter top. I like aspects of it. The only thing that we've run into that can be a bit weird is that lower "temp" cook options work like a microwave on-off-on-off-etc...

So if you're trying to simmer something that can easily boil over, you end up with boil, no boil, boil, no boil which is usually fine, but can be a little messy at times.

I like the fact that the cook top itself doesn't get hot. It also seems to as responsive as gas. You want good pans with a beefy enough ferrous layer. We have a really cheap AL pot that has a thin ferrous plate fused to the bottom (someone gave it to us or left it here or something). It takes FOREVER to heat up. We also have a some very nice Demeyere 7 layer thick stainless pots that heat super fast. A cooktop that runs on 220/240 should cook much faster on high than this counter-top model that we have. If the wife is trying to boil a carcase to make broth/stock, or even cook pasta with a lot of water, it can take a while for the pot to boil. I think the counter top model that we have is 2500W or 3500W. I think a 220V cooktop is 5500W or something like that. I assume "high" on one of those is a lot higher than the high on our countertop model.
