They shoukd do a set with one pan alu and the other HA though of course it would complicate shopping for shops. I have a HA set but have bought a separate alu pan to replace one of the HAs as i like using it for certain things. Can also be used as a general purpose bowl. The separate alu pan cost me about a fiver. The cheapest approach overall in think for someone who wants a mixed set. The other HA pan makes a handy spare.
I don't use the HA frying pan as a lid, i use the plain alu plate for that. In any case now use a duossal frying pan so my set is a right old mongrel.
