Agree with Sonic16's answer. I originally purchased the bugaboo, but after just a few uses decided to return it for the Pinnacle. I'm planning on this cookware lasting me a long time and I quickly realized I wanted the better coating (I scratched the bugabook a little too easily).

The 20 extra bucks is paying for quality. The short answer is the Pinnacle has better scratch resistantance, even allowing the use of some metal utensils and has better heat technology. The pan heats more evenly avoiding a burger patty with one spot cooked more than the other. The longer answer is the Bugaboo is made out of aluminum and polypropylene with 2 layers of coating to protect from scratching and abrasion (which I have heard from some, this can be a problem with this set). The Pinnacle is hard anodized aluminum that uses Tephlon with radiance technology to allow better heat dispersion. It also has three layers of coating to protect better against scratching and abrasion. More details can be found on GIS outdoors' website: http://www.gsioutdoors.com
