I've gotten to compare select Le Creuset pieces to extensive collections of Lodge, Griswold and Wagner non-coated cast iron and some enameled pieces from the '50s. My observation is that each has their place and each has it's pluses and minuses. The big minus with any uncoated cast iron piece is that it takes a different maintenance routine. It's not hard or complicated to get in the habit of wiping out warm pots and keeping them seasoned. The big plus to the uncoated cast iron is that it can be very affordable. The big minus to enameled cast iron is that the coating will eventually chip and crack and it's VERY expensive initially. (A secondary minus to coated Lodgeware is that it's coated in China with who knows what.) The big plus to enameled cast iron is that it's non-reactive and you can cook acid based foods like tomatoes without much worry. If I was going to have one Le Creuset piece, I believe it would be the 3qt enameled saucier, but even that raises the q of whether it's worth the tarrif compared to other vastly cheaper but still quite capable SS sauciers.
