No, once the BIAB +bag is removed and drained you end up with the same wort in the pot as any other method - You want to go as thick as possible to avoid burnt spots. Craftbrewer are about to bring out a range of 70L pots, pre-drilled so you just need to fit your own ball tap or get one welded on by a SS fab. You might want to enquire. Saw one of the "samples" there yesterday - good solid stuff.
I use over the side electric elements so I don't think that is relevant to me but nonetheless I wouldn't buy a cheapie given quality aluminium is not too expensive.
The cheapies look like they would ding easily. Also they were a different shape, that is wider at the top and shorter for the same volume.
For the method I use I couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a SS pot even though they look very nice.
