Do you have any pendants or over-the-sink lighting? Anything LED will be brighter than that light. You may just need to go with flush mount. How tall are your ceilings? Chances are that when you remove this large light, it's all just connected to one small electrical box, so placement may be a bit off in the room. Something to consider having moved if it's not center or looks strange. Also, be prepared that you will have some patching and painting to do when you replace this light.

Two main options are to do a large central flushmount fixture -- say a 3-light, so that it provides a lot of ambient light -- or to do a track fixture, where you can point the heads toward various work areas -- maybe less random ambient light, but can be great for task lighting. The right choice might depend on the shape of your kitchen, your age, and simple preference.
