Even super fancy cookware sometimes ends up on the shelves at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, so those stores are worth scoping out.
My bare CI Dutch oven used to flake, presumably because I did a mediocre job of seasoning it the first time. When I took the time & effort to strip it down to bare metal and properly season it from scratch, no more flakes (...just like in the dandruff shampoo ads!)
I also have an enameled CI Dutch oven but, eventually, the enamel discolors and micro-cracks (especially if given fast/uneven temperature changes). Not usually an issue, but because it is more prone to sticking, while also being both heavier and more delicate than the plain one, it spends a lot more time in the cupboard.
