Is it this pan? [...] However, I have one of their 6-quart saute pans and rarely use it because it's so big.

Apart from having a very large volume that, like you, I have little need for (not no need), the heating is very uneven, at least on my stove. The outer area of the cooking surface on these large diameter pans is substantially cooler than the area closer to the center resulting in uneven heating and cooking.  This means paying closer attention to the cooking process and sometimes moving items from the center to the outside of the pan. Such a pan would be fine when used in an oven.
