We bought an induction cook top about six months ago and had to go to stainless. I did a ton of research and still could not decide. So I finally decided not to spend an arm and a leg and go with a less expensive set and figure what I liked and did not like and replace in a few years if I was that unhappy. I did not want to spend a ton of money and find out six months later that A: I hated the stuff, and B: I spent way too much money for what I was going to use it for.
I finally went for an Emeril set from Macy's. It was on sale and I got a couple of more pieces for free. It is built by All Clad, but not as expensive as the rest of their stuff. I have been very happy with it it cooks great. I also like that all of the sauce pans have lips for pouring and they also have measurements on the inside - for example, yesterday a recipe call for 2 quarts of water, so instead of have to take a measuring cup out I just filled up the pan to the markings on the inside.
Bottom line is I have been very happy. I have only had it for six months so I can't comment on durability, but it is still in perfect condition after medium usage.
At least it did not say Bobby Flay on it......
