Hi Phil,
1500 watts translates to 5118 btu's. However, transfer of heat to the pan is nearly 99% efficient with induction cooking.
I don't know what the efficiency of a propane flame to the contents of the pan is but it certainly is not even close to 99%.
The other problem is that for gas the pan must be sufficiently large to cover the entire flame area.
I do know that my Nuwave beats the propane stove top, and also beats the large burner in an electric stove.

I'd like to see a demo on YouTube of an induction cooktop of any power up to 1500 watts kicking the butt of an RV propane cooktop's high BTU burner when heating water. Note I'm NOT referring to a standard RV cooktop propane burner ... but the high output one that is included in some RV cooktops (like ours, for instance).?
