i doubt there would be much difference unless the electric was rated under 1200 watts. the problem with most electrics is they take several minutes for the surface to exceed the boiling 210°F temperature needed for waffle making, then recover above boiling temp once the cool batter is applied. it's pretty much the same issue with deep frying where you'd need 1800 watts to get your oil above 450°F then hold it once the potato are added.
it sound like you want to make a lot of waffles fast, so consider something like this where you can keep loading batter and unloading cooked with a flip. this 1400w unit can make a medium baked 7" waffle every 2 minutes.

if you must do square waffles at volume, don't buy anything less than this 1500w model: http://www.amazon.com//dp/B001CHL3Q0 (there is a more expensive version where you can exchange the plates for press grilling.)
anyone reading this on a budget - you can do waffles just fine on a typical cheaper 600-900w unit, just not as rapidly as the units above. best trick is to always leave a tablespoon of water on your iron when you first plug it in - then do not oil and batter it until that water has boiled away - that's when you know your iron is ready. personally i use a $40 900w square regular waffle with removable plates, but i have to be patient during warm up and while making large batches.
Im not sure how you made those. But I am sure that you didn't get a waffle iron for christmas.
I would start out with an cast iron stove top one. They are fairly cheap and easy to start out on.
I own a couple of those and I own this one.... Its pricey... But, I like it.
