Not a suggestion you might expect - but I have long given up buying retail pans and buy from a catering supplier. In the UK the supplier I use is nisbets. Their basic range is always being used by chefs when there's a TV programme and to my surprise although they are a fraction of the cost of the brands they are better' last longer and offer a wider size range and offer some really great sizes. I had planned to replace them more often - but they have lasted much longer than I had expected. Obviously professional kitchens are harder on pans - so they are pretty robust.

I suggest you have a look at proper catering suppliers for their core pans.
