plain bronze vs chrome bronze

[willy]

I am in the process of rerigging. Old rig (on new to me boat) is quite old (25 years) and so thought it prudent to replace everything as well as wire - turnbuckles, toggles etc. I thought I would try and get plain bronze TBs. I thought maybe they would be easier to inspect in the future without the chrome on them and also they all seem to have bronze studs and jaw coming out of them which is that much less SS to invisibly corrode and maybe fail. Is my logic sound or just layman misinformedness? Is the right kind of bronze a superior material to SS? If years from now a chrome bronze TB had a crack would it show through the chrome anyway? Are there other advantages of one over the other? Also, I just plain like bronze alot and eventually would like to replace the ss chainplates with silicon bronze (good idea?? or not) . It seems most TBs are chrome bronze so there must be a good reason for this or is it just shiny esthetics? I know these are a lot of questions but just not sure which route to go. BTW she's a 20' flicka and 3/16 wire. Willy
