Yes, the IP is certainly worth the money,but it sounds like the main reason for your post is wanting that "walk away and forget" that you no longer have with gas. I might suggest you look at a counter-top induction burner such as:
15 power levels from 200-1800Watts; 15 temperature range from 140°F to 460°F - very highly rated and will store easily in a cupboard. Considerably less than an IP and can easily be taken out to patio/deck to use while bbqing for sides. If you wish to replace your Logastino with another of the same you should get the same result.
