A 2-3qt saucepan is my go-to for most day-to-day cooking tasks and this saucier packs a lot of nice-to-have features into one saucy little package. It's got measuring lines, a saucier's characteristic rounded corners (to make whisking easier), and even a helper handle.
Asking over $100 still feels a little expensive to me, but at least there's a decent justification for it with all these user-friendly features.
