There is a large difference in price between Le Creuset and Lodge.

From the articles I have read, there is also a large difference in weight between LC and others like Cuisinart or Lodge- the LC being the lighter weight of the 2. To me, this isn't necessarily a deal breaker for the others, but depending on how you're going to use it, the weight may make a difference to you. I have 1 LC skillet and 2 off brand (think like Wal-Mart House brand) dutch ovens. I love making soups in my dutch oven, and burgers are delicious in the skillet.
