I will repeat a response to a different question:
"This is very much like many discussions in Shop Talk. While one procedure or material may be "better" the difference isn't often enough to make the lesser one "bad".
To explain it in words that a blacksmith would understand - If you had a choice between dating Gisele Bundchen or Hilary Rhoda the fact that Gisele is #1 and Hilary is #10 on the top model list last year does not mean that Gisele is a good girlfriend choice and Hilary is a bad one. Is there a difference....YES....does it really matter, heck NO! "
