Is Le Creuset stoneware worth the premium over a $100 set?

Reviewers on Crate & Barrel, lecreuset.com, and r/LeCreuset describe the stoneware as substantial, scratch-resistant, and durable in the dishwasher, but the same community threads note the price premium is mostly brand and finish rather than dramatically better function. A r/BuyItForLife commenter said outright they still reach for cheaper Pyrex/Corningware in daily use.
