Well, that's one approach. However, just because the control boards are cheap doesn't mean your range won't have some part with a high failure rate such that when it goes out you won't be able to get them at any price.
My approach is to first make my wife happy and if possible temper her choices if she picks an appliance model I think will be failure-prone. When we remodeled our kitchen she wanted a Jenn-Aire electric double oven and a Viking gas stovetop. I knew Jenn-Aire has a miserable repair history, and that Viking is supposed to be a premium product. The Jenn-Aire lost a cooling fan right out of warranty; I fixed it and it has been OK since then. The Viking had multiple repair calls under warranty; they replaced the ignitor module and all the controls but the ignitors continued to act up. Since there was nothing left to replace after the module and controls, Viking ended up giving us a new stovetop. But only after my wife sent a letter to the president of Viking. It turned out they had a batch of bad ignitor modules, so they kept replacing the module with a bad part.
Good luck with your purchase. Your wife will love the switch to gas.
