It all depends on how you cook, and where you store your pans. I can't think of a pan or pot I own that I don't lift. Even with my biggest pots I like to hold on one hand and scrape the last bits out. I make fried rice and fried noodles and pan sauces in a cast iron pan and wish it were easier to lift and pour. Even boiling pasta I lift and pour.
Weight is always a factor. I like a good sear and I like heat retention but it's a trade-off and I wouldn't want every pan to be super heavy.
Ehhh... night and day?
If you're serious about cooking, then you know how to clean your pans, and don't really care that the edge around the rivets darkens a bit.
If you're serious about cooking, then there's no chance in hell you could warp an All-Clad pan, either. I mean, Lord knows members of my family have tried without success, as have the testers at places like Cooks Illustrated.
If you're serious about cooking, you know that there's a always a trade-off between thermal conductivity, heat retention, evenness of heating, and weight. A Demeyere Atlantis 12.5" skillet weighs an entire pound more than the All-Clad D3. Those two lines should not be compared. There are advantages (and disadvantages) to lighter weight pans.
The Silvinox coating is a unique advantage to Demeyere. And you didn't mention that Demeyere has sealed edges which makes it more dishwasher safe. Those are meaningful differences for some people, if not night and day.
Finally, if you're serious about cooking, you're probably not buying your pans in sets.
It's a good thing when the weight comes from aluminum or copper, right?
People pay more for copper not because it retains heat well, but because it does the opposite -- it reacts quickly to changes in temperature.
These are all tradeoffs. In truth, sometimes you want heat retention. Sometimes you very specifically don't. Sometimes weight doesn't matter. Sometimes it very much does. That's why having only one type of cookware in your kitchen is not a great idea (unless your only concern is appearance).

Their straight-sided pieces like saucepans, pots, and saute pans, have 2mm of copper in the bottom, which gives a much quicker downward response while maintaining an even floor temperature. This is good for sauces and other things where temperature control is more important.
You said that having one type of cookware in your kitchen isn't a great idea, and I agree. It's just that Atlantis isn't just one type of cookware.

Fair point, but they are all still very heavy pieces
I've been mulling it over and decided to go for it but now it's no longer available.

Also, I think if you do not know how to cook well, induction with these pans is the WIN! Yeah, maybe if you already know how to cook with the slow timing of regular cookware on regular stovetops / hobs, then maybe? not so big a difference. Still way faster on induction Demeyere atlantis / proline.

Still way faster on induction Demeyere atlantis / proline. For me, Way way way way worth it for the combo of induction plus atlantis. You can do like me and try it out first with an induction hotplate and one atlantis piece first to make sure it's worth the extra money.
