For those of you who have both:  saute pan vs paella pan?  Reflections?

I like and use them both.
For the sizes I have, the sides of the sauté pan are higher, 4 cm vs 3 cm for the paella pan.  Much easier to slosh stuff over the sides of the paella. 
I bought the paella pans because they easily fit in my little Cuisinart CSO that can’t accommodate the long handles of the sauté pans when I want to finish something in the oven. 
 

Edited to add that I have the smaller pans: 20 and 25 cm. 
The 27 cm paella is the same 4 cm height as the sauté pan and that big honking 35 cm paella is 4.5 cm high.
