Default Sioux Chief SS closet flanges

While strolling thru home depot the other day I noticed some stainless steel pvc closet flanges. My question to all of you service plumbers out there is, how well does the stainless steel ring hold up compared to the all pvc flange. Also the SS steel ring can be rotated, is this product geared more to home owners or are these also used for residential construction. Please excuse my ignorance on the matter, having worked on high rises I have only installed cast iron closet collars.

They are all I use...

I also use quite a few of the Moss Bay Stainless Steel Repair rings to replace rusted out painted steel rings.

If all toilet flanges had a SS ring, there would be alot less service work.

SS is far superior to plastic or painted steel.
