How much and where from?
We have induction, is that an option for you?
Nope they don't want induction

Westinghouse is reasonable, basic one (I have this)

Value for money maybe you can look at the Ikea ones like this one (made by Whirlpool or Electrolux):
https://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/60284722/
It's catered for different shapes and sizes of pots and pans and has a timer with a 5-year warranty, I've had one of their induction hobs for almost 3 years now and it's still working ok. They also have other cheaper ceramic cooktops with more basic layout:

So is $900 for 2% improvement worth it?
Any discount coupons for IKEA?

Yeah they look the same to me except I can't seem to find the pause button on the Electrolux one.
