propane vs electric costs?

We are finalizing our new home construction plans. We will have geo-thermal heating/cooling, so no propane is needed for that. We currently have an electic dryer and it takes a lot longer than our previous natural gas dryer took to dry clothes. We also currently have an electric stove, and I much preferred my previous natural gas stove.

Now my choices for dryer and stove are electric and propane. I assumed propane would be just like natural gas. The builder recommends electric for both, saying it's a lot less expensive to run. I'm wondering if it really matters that much. I don't bake a ton, and we use the dryer 1 day each week, all day long.

What are your experiences with propane vs electric?
