Is these a price point that is a normal sale range for a new full set, or is Costco's price for a 12 piece already lower than all the 10 piece sets I see everywhere else?
Finally how do these compare to all the other sets the sell like the Calphalon Premier set I bought last night or something like the Tramontina sets?
What are we paying for besides the name and manufacture location? I care about a good deal, it O also cares about quality. I bought the Kirkland set once but wasn't sure if I warped them within the first day or if they came that way due to the lower rates temperature rating. Does that 600 degree oven rating over the Calphalon 450, Tramontina 500, or the Discontinued Kirkland 5 ply copper's 380 degree really speak to its durability and ability to avoid warping, or is it a bit of marketing influenced by the specific need to make sure people aren't over heating the tempered glass lids or other nuances? Would 600 degrees mean the all clad can stand up to a broiler whereas the others can't?
If I'm willing to pay this price for quality would I be getting my money's worth? I'd love to hear opinions on what the additional $390 buys me, besides a steamer insert. Would it be better to buy a bigger 8qt mismatched stock pot and carbon steel pan. It appears the Calphalon set is missing a big pot which takes from the value since that piece sold by itself seems to cost just as much at half the set's sale price.

p.s. Has anyone seen Costco sell these stainless all clad sets in store?

Back to your concerns on if it's money worthy, well, I don't think there would be a huge difference between all clad and the other 3-ply pans made in China. I heard that though all clad claims they are made in USA, their raw materials are imported from China, which bothers people who really care for "food safety". I have to admit that I buy all clad because they are beautiful and big name, which makes me feel good when cooking. If that applies to you, I'll recommend all clad than other brands then.
If you don't mind waiting, maybe check their factory sales later in case they have great deals on d3 set?

Most people could do without an 8" stainless fry pan but it is nice for small ingredients or cooking for one. You do miss out on the 12" fry pan, but again, can add later.
The larger kit is a better deal, if you need the deal.
I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on my purchase and while I do wish stainless steel was easier to clean and more scratch resistant, I don't regret the purchase and look forward to passing these down as family heirlooms.
