Help me decide which Pot to buy?

So After some advice from others I have decided to go with a 60 qt SS pot but I have a couple of options.

Bayou Classic 62-Quart Stainless-Steel Stockpot = $109

or

Winware Stainless Steel 60 Quart Stock Pot = $151

The Winware has the tri ply encapsulated bottom but i'm not sure if this justifies the extra $40

From what i've seen with a cutaway bottom of the Wineware I would gamble on more even across the bottom plus faster heating without burner hot spots vs the the Bayou Stockpot, your looking at a price difference of only 38.5% more in price. For this investment I would jump on the Wineware pot if it were me. JMO as going too cheap will bite you in the butt later. To foolishly overpay is another watch your prices also.

You can get an 80 qt SS pot online from Instawares for about the same price ($159) and with a three ply bottom. Shipping is free for me, but I'm not sure if that applies to Alaska as well...however, if it does, and you decide it's worth a little bit more money to get a higher quality pot, I'd get the 20 gallon size just in case.

How wide is the Winware? It says on-line 22.5"x18"x16", however it looks taller than it does wide. Maybe they meausured length as height? I just need to know because the Blickmann burner only handles 21" wide.
