Chrome-moly vs. stainless

I'm looking at a muzzle break for my Lone Eagle:

It is $9 more for stainless over chrome-moly. I don't know what the functional difference is. Chrome-moly sounds cooler !

Any ideas?

I am not sure why you are pondering the choice. But, for what it is worth, I don't think the options are based in function as much as it is in form (looks). S/S will be in the white, whereas you can expect chrome-molly to have a finish (i.e. matte back). Choose one to match your gun or if you prefer contrast, choose one opposite to your gun's finish.

My $0.022 (adjusted for inflation).
