Induction and range hood

I have a nice and powerful range hood (zephyr typhoon) over my gas unit in my current house. I'm looking at a new place and want to put in a 36" induction cooktop.

What CFM hood/fan blower is optimal in this situation, assuming a semi custom hood enclosure can be designed?

I'm assuming with the high efficiency and lower escaping heat and no o2 usage, the CFM required should go down. Exactly how much is really the question. Over 300cfm and we have to put in a MUA unit, and the builder wants a huge $$ for the upgrade past 300.

I had a OTR microwave before and hated it, loud and didn't really do anything well. I know it was "300cfm" but my reading here shows that the difference is night and day when you have a properly designed hood.
