Rate of conduction will be lower with thicker metal.

 

Thicker metal will heat more evenly, which is a non-issue. See post on evenness.

 

I'm going to stop responding here, boilsover, because I'm just seeing a miasma of cognitive biasses*. We all want to feel good about our purchases, but there's no need to take this anxiety public. 

Your pans are awesome and they make you happy. 

They just don't happen to objectively better in the ways you're claiming. No amount of pushing information around can change that.

 

*See 1, 2, 3

 

I see a velouté of confirmation bias and crowdspeak here, too, much of it scientifically uninformed.  Can't change the Periodic Table and the laws of thermodynamics.  Can't change the fact that many of the world's finest restaurants and chefs over many, many years suffer from the same cognitive biases you attribute to me.
