In general electric heat is far more expensive than gas heat. The panels are probably more efficient than standards electric heater because there is no fan. Convective heat is how baseboard heaters work, but I sorta doubt they provide "tremendously efficient convection heat" compared to regualr baseboard heaters.

I would be wary of the idea one panel can heat a 10 X 10 room. There is a big qualifier about having adequate insulation for that to happen. and exactly what is meant by adequate is not mentioned.

On the good side they are a great way to heat a room if you want to use electric heat. They look nice, are quiet, are most likely more efficient than standard electric heaters, and you can shut them off in rooms not being used.

But remember you are only trading NG cost for electric costs.
