Expensive, but every meal and every time you wash the pans you know that it was money well spent.
Used every day for a couple of months now. Best non-stick pans we've used. Heavy, but a nice weight. Very thick bottom, so expect the heat to be distributed evenly - certainly no evidence to the contrary. Side walls thick but thicken at the top, so a little less substantial than they may initially seem, but still very robust.
Pan lids fit well.
Pan handles excellent: Neither the main handle nor the side handle on the pan get hot, so its easy to poor hot liquid despite the weight.
However, what really really makes the pan is that they are really non stick.
When first unpacking the pans, I expected the internal surface to be completely smooth. Running my hand inside, it was clear that the surface feels every so slightly uneven (not really rough).
However used for milky oats, after breakfast, when the pan has cooled, the pan cleans itself just be spinning water in the pan. My daughter, on a rare job with a tea towel remarked how dry the pan just washed was already. Food and water don't stick. Excellent.
