ive cooked noodle wok in the saucepan and i like fried rice. also i often cook stews in the saucepan.
thinking that cast iron would work better than steel for electric coil since it holds heat better

Yes. The benefits of cast iron are heat retention for searing and the ability to swap to the oven. For a wok you want high heat source plus good thermal transfer which cast iron is poor at. The extra weight of cast iron wok is gonna destroy your wrists and you will need a flat bottom wok to deal with your electric heating element which can't kiss the sides with heat.
You're buying a mislabeled pot not an oriental cooking device.
