We have a bunch of Calphalon, and it is good stuff, but it has one serious flaw: the handles. They are not ergonomic. Before you buy into the Calphalon hype, go to a store and pick up one of the larger pans and hold it for ten seconds by the handle. Then ask youself if the handle is comfortable. Then walk around the store and pick up a cheaper pan with a plastic handle and hold it for ten seconds. Ask yourself the same question. You'll see what I mean.
Calphalon sells an optional $$ rubber grip that slides over the handle and makes it more comfortable and less likely to burn your hand, but then the pan is no longer oven-safe.
As bad as the handles are, I still like my Calphalon. They are heavy duty, heat evenly and quickly, clean up pretty well, and look cool.
