Are stainless steel heads worth the extra money?

[soafone]

Also, what are the pros/cons of using them?

[CAPT Stream Rotar]

no..

They look nicer.. I've heard on here that the shaft "doesn't get scored" as badly..

If the people want the best top of the line install product sure it's necessary..
