I would take solid stainless over chrome-plated anything anyday. Plating sucks! I have never seen a plating job on anything that didn't eventually go south. Platings have pinholes which corrode. Filiform corrosion gets going. Platings flake or chip,.. there are so many defects possible I would bore you by listing them.

If you get a little corrosion on a stainless steel, use some abrasive to remove it and life goes on.
