When using pans, I don't particularly care if they are too thick bit I do care if they are too heavy. Aluminium pan could be lighter while having equal or greater heat capacity, if it were thick enough.

I don't know if such thick aluminium pans are available, though.

It's not just the weight that you'll care about, it's also the moment of inertia, which will help/hinder your ability to reorient the pan
