All Clad is All Clad is All Clad. Whether you buy the Ltd, Stainless is a matter of how much you want to spend and aesthetics. The basic utensil is the same and only the outside looks different.

I did notice the LTD series is thicker than SS version.

The other main difference besides looks is that SS can be used on induction "burners," whereas LTD and the other varieties of AllClad cannot.

But as Jock said, they are all pretty much the same. Just stay away from the Emeril line, which is definitely thinner.

Fwiw: I just weighed my two 8-inch AC saute pans:
LTD nonstick = 696 grams
MasterChef regular = 738 grams
