Brass vs. Stainless Steel

I just wrassled with this same question a few months back. What decided it for me was ease of installation based on a design with a lot of free form curves. I knew sectional track was not going to give me the flexibility I wanted. This left flex track. The choice then was between code 332 and 250 brass. Since my trains are 1:29 scale, AMS code 250 fit best with them. It's brass and forms easily and switches, etc.. are readily available. 250 track in stainless is not available, as far as I know, although it is 'in the works' by one or more mfgrs. Nickel silver is available in 250, but for me is cost prohibitive. IOW, I can afford it, but don't see that it's that more of a benefit. YMMV and HTH.
