Which finish is more durable?

Well since you want to nit pick then any combination of two or more elements where at least one of the elements is metallic makes an alloy.

Yes in a sense stainless is also an alloy

This is my quote. I think I answered the question.:cool:

but the term alloy has come to mean some grade of aluminum

Still true in the real wold. Ok, I admit I like nit picking.:)
