Thanks, Dee. I do see your point, but I'm not sure the shape would deter
me. However, I still haven't made it to the Costco store to see them.
Life's just been too busy. :-)
Still, that set seems a good quality given my budget. If anyone has a
better suggestion for spending ~$200, I'd be happy to look at them. I
don't want anodized or non-stick cookware. I do want a heavy laminated
bottom. I'm not at all interested in any fully-clad cookware. It would
not be an advantage to me.

I've seen similar here, but I definitely don't need any more Le Creuset.

Sure glad you didn't get in the middle of it!
