I did a lot of research into moderately priced stainless steel cookware sets and this and the Cuisinart were at the top of the list over and over.  I chose this one because of the comfortable handles no discs on the bottom.  I have been so impressed with the how they look, how they cook, and the easy clean up.  I highly recommend this set but be sure you are ordering the set 'Made in Brazil'.  Wayfair has it, other merchants are selling knock offs.
