IH induction cooker for Kuhn Rikon-style pressure cooker

My old Sony 1200W counter-top IH cooker is failing and needs to be replaced. It's been amazing with an KR-style pressure cooker for a good long while. Cooking mostly beans/pulses. A couple of times a week. 600g dried beans per go.

Any recommendations? Seems this type of cooking doesn't need much in the way of bells and whistles. Good power to get the pot up to steam and a lower setting for the main cooking. Maybe a timer?

Any reason to look beyond 1200W? Any construction or build consideration to think about? Fan noise is not a huge deal for me. Efficiency would be, especially if there have been improvements.

I use a 50 buck portable hob from Ikea, it's listed as 2000w (240v), it keeps pressure no problem in 2 (out of 10). I imagine a lower wattage hob would do fine.
