Default Ceramic vs Stainless

When it come to headers, are ceramic coated really that much better than stainless, i've noticed about $100 more for ceramic. I'm asking because people here all have stainless. are ceramics really worth the extra money?

Ceramic is a very durable coating. Definitely worth the extra $.

ceramic is a better insulator for the heat. Living in the desert, i need all the lower underhood temps i can get. For me, the extra dough was worth it.

I have the Jet Hot coating on my FRPP shorties. It was worth the extra beans!

Ummm.... stainless is WAY more duable than ceramic, eventually ceramic header will rust, stainless will never rust. Of course you could get ceramic coated stainless headers and have the best of both worlds.
