I don't think I'd pay $70-ish for one. Especially considering I can snag large stainless stock pots for a few bucks at yard sales.

On the other hand, if I won one in a draw or through a charity auction, I would certainly keep it. Handy item if you need to boil up a lot of water/soup/whatever in a hurry. The aluminum is so much more efficient in terms of thermal transfer compared to stainless steel.
