Stainless Steel exhaust

OK, the old performance exhaust chestnut has been cracked around here almost as often as 'Which ECU should I get?' and 'Why everything that's bad with the world is GM's fault', but I don't believe that the Stainless Steel exhaust sold by Engstrom has been discussed here. They do carry one for the 9000, although it's not listed on their site... the premium over the JT is significant, but it should last at least twice as long... and an Abbott system is at least a few hundred more, with the (albeit beautiful and excellent quality) Ferrita costing more than the OEM SAAB system... Since I plan to keep the car 4-6 more years, I figure SS is the way to go. My flex pipe is leaking, so I got to replace the downpipe, which is the most expensive part of the Engstrom SS system. So, the options stack up like this:
Engstrom SS $1,100 +/-
JT w/cat, $750-800
Ferrita from Wigwam $1,900 installed by Wigwam
Walker (OEM equivalent), $600
(all prices are installed by my Indy, except the Nordic/Ferrita system).
I would add an SQR chip in the future... when I get over the nut of the exhaust system...
Opinions, thoughts, etc...
TIA
