Yes, there are several. You might start with Franz's work at CenturyLife. Most of these evenness comparisons don't take into account the rate of heating or look at it from a point of thermal equilibrium.
PID isn't going to help much with downward responsiveness, because the Ceran itself holds heat. The whole "control" aspect is far more imprecise than Breville and some zealous users claim. One little thermocouple at the center outside of a pan bottom is, practically, a pretty coarse approximation. 1F precision is largely illusory. You can pick up a Mirage Pro (100 power settings) for 1/3 the price, and that's plenty granular and with better case and fan.
But hey, spending C.F. money, you'll be predisposed to like it. Have fun.
