JoannSean,
I think that the question of most expensive set can get totally confused if we think in terms of POSSIBLE sets, and what they would sell for. Or what a set might sell for in mint condition compared to good condition.
To me, the only way to make sense of it is to think of sets that have actually sold. Or near-sets.
I think the Pirates near-set of $800,000 must be close to the top. Plus, by the time you add the required fees, it really sold for $960,000.
I don't know if any other set has sold for more than that. So to me maybe the Pirates is the most expensive set. I think that's the only way to decide. There may be a more expensive set someday - like a full T206 in mint, or whatever. But so far there hasn't been one.
