Matching cooktop and oven

My partner and I are planning a big renovation in our house and I mainly use the kitchen so am doing most of the planning there. Currently we have an old 80s or 90s kitchen with a crappy old 60cm cooktop and oven (I'm in Australia so this is all in metric - 60cm is 23 inches and 90cm is 35 inches).

I've been talking to gemini about my options and it is suggesting I get a 90cm induction cooktop, which I am pretty sold on (I've always had gas but induction seems to have a lot of advantages). It is also recommending a 60cm oven though, which has me completely baffled.

Don't you generally have your cooktop and oven the same width? wouldn't it look weird to huave them different widths? And why restrict your oven size?

Gemini says that a 90cm oven is overkill - uses too much electricity, takes too long to heat up, loses more heat when you open the door, and a 60cm one fits pretty much anything you'll need. Is this all true? Any advice appreciated!
