C(-)ris,
Just switching from electric to gas isn't as easy as you might think. There are code requirements. Found that out when my parents switched from electric to gas. In addition to having a plumber run the gas line, they had to change the material in the backsplash.
That said, I'd only purchase a range that is slide in with all of the controls in the front. I'd want true self-cleaning, not "steam-cleaning" which is kinda sorta like but not as good as true self-cleaning. And, if possible, racks with ball-bearings to make them super easy to slide in and out of the oven.
The ranges that fit my requirements tend to be more expensive models. You want some of the above features, you have to be prepared to pay for them. Even if you're not purchasing a model from a high end brand.
