re: All-Clad or Made In for cookware? $750 to spend on a set.

Demeyere has a lot more aluminum than both.

I presume we are talking about the regular SS lines?

I second this, and also, no rivets on the interior of the pan which is a plus. Also there is something about how the cooking surface is milled that I am not sure I can explain, but is putatively advantagous. Pretty much similar in price. I believe the line I have is the Industry line which is 5 ply. Just an FYI, their fry pans are French Skillet style, which I actually prefer.

Between madein and All-clad, I prefer the look of the All-clad, and I think it comes to temp a little quicker. I have a mix of AC D3 and Copper Core (more expensive, great looking, harder to keep looking pristine on the outside because of the "groove") and I would generally say go for D3 in All-Clad. My only Madein piece is a 3qt. saucier, which I have no problem with but don't love look/style of handle. No issue with how it cooks.

TLDR: I prefer Demeyere over both.
