I was in the same boat a little over a year ago. I went with the Rumbler because:

1) I live in CA, so it doesn't see ANY road salt, and SS doesn't matter to me because it will probably never rust. My car sits in a garage when parked, and doesn't go out in the rain all that often.

2) It was cheaper, and I wanted a choice for tips. However, I got lazy and got a pair of Hooker tips for $25. I'm now too lazy to get new tips welded on, so I just deal with it.

3) I really like the sound of the Rumbler. I've heard many people compare it to a Borlamouth; I've never heard a Borlamouth personally, but I think my car sounds pretty good.
