I can see why someone might want the Le Creuset wok even if it isn't the
most cost effective alternative. However I was at a going out of business
sale at The Great Indoors this weekend and people were frantically snapping
up things like Le Creuset tea kettles. One woman was on her cell phone
consulting with someone about the LC kettles. I looked at them and they
appeared to be nothing more than inexpensive stamped metal painted to match
the rest of the LC cookware.
