A matched set has its own problems. For us, the pattern was discontinued right after we got them. Over the years a bunch of spoons disappeared and we needed more serving utensils but there was no way to keep a matched set. So far we mostly do without, but we have to consider the possibility of having to replace the entire set
One day my wife had enough and threw out all the mismatched cutlery, so now we have everything 100% matched.
I married the right woman.
