This doesn't make sense to me. I thought cast iron was great on an induction cooktop as it is magnetic, and as copper is barely magnetic, it would be a very poor choice.
Take a magnet shopping with you. If it sticks to the bottom of a pan, that pan should work on an induction cooktop.
I've never had an induction cooktop, but a friend of mine had one installed when she remodeled her kitchen a few years ago. Not long after the remodel was finished she pulled it out & installed a gas cooktop...not really sure as to details why though. She cooks ALOT though and was used to cooking on gas before the remodel.
