Totally agree with you about stainless but do you usually use your bike in severe maritime conditions
Corrosion from road salt doesnt usually warrant the use of A4 stainless it's more suited for boats!!
I've used A2 fastners for years and never had any corrosion problems. And it polishes up just as well. Why pay twice as much when you don't need to
