Gas hobs are never flush, and much easier to control as you can hear the
flame, and if it goes out, smell the gas!  The temperature changes much more
instantly.  If you're cooking for one, gas ovens can also be very good, but
if you want to do anything at all complicated, a fan assisted electric oven
is far better in terms of speed and even cooking.

Many modern cookers have touch buttons and some even force you to use the
timer before the oven will switch on.  The only thing you can do is bear all
that in mind and then go and look in all the kitchen and DIY shops you can. 
Buying on line is not an option in my view because you need to ask questions
and feel/see the controls.

cheers
Dave
