All-Clad is one of the best known cookware brands when it comes to high-quality well-made pots and pans. The various lines they offer can be very different and often confusing though. In my opinion the LTD2 line is simply the best you can buy at the moment - featuring a "best of both worlds" type arrangement between function and ease of clean-up. The variations between All-Clad's many lines really comes down to the materials used to form the clad components of the pans. The LTD2 line is made of a 5-ply clad construction that has dishwasher-safe anodized aluminum on the outside then two layers of aluminum with a stainless steel layer sandwiched between them and then a final layer of stainless steel on the inside cooking surface. The layers of aluminum offer quick heating and temperature control while the stainless layers offer uniform lateral heating and a nice non-reactive cooking surface. Some of the other all-clad lines such as their copper and copper-core lines will have better temperature control and heating speed but don't offer the convenience of being dishwasher-safe. This is also what makes the LTD2 line a huge step-up from the LTD line - being dishwasher-safe.
This particular pan is very well-made offers a nice and light yet solid feel to it and offers superb temperature control. I opted for the 4-quart saute because it seemed to be almost the perfect size. I usually can fit about 4 large chicken breasts in it with a little room left over.
