Yeah, £100 is a lot more reasonable.
Yes more material is better, copper would be ideal but is expensive that's why it's mostly alu.
The reason you see it on thicker cast iron is that it spreads heat really slowly but holds it really well.
I was never happy with the high temp performance of my 3ply pan and found that Demeyere made a pan with 5.5mm all around and it does make a big difference but only if you blast it, with gentler cooking not that much.
