20 years ago, there was a huge difference between the cheap and expensive ss cookware. Not so now. I have had an inexpensive Meyer set for 7 years now and it is waaaay better than the expensive Italian stuff we got as a wedding gift 25 years ago.
I would also suggest that cookware technology has moved beyond ss. I've had a Greenpan ceramic coated aluminum frying pan for a year now. This stuff is tough, heats much more quickly than the expensive ss/aluminum stuff, heats very evenly and cleans better than any of the other no stick stuff. It also handles much higher temperatures than any other no stick type.
When I need more pots or pans, I will go to Greenpan. They have expensive and cheap options. For the ones I have seen, the difference seems to be a plastic vs stainless handle. The pots and pans themselves are the same.
