Stainless Eye Splicing

[tag]

I have been struggling to find many examples of eye splicing stainless steel 7x19 wire rope, and I was curious as to why this is the case? While I understand that galvanized will outlast stainless by orders of five or better I was considering using stainless steel to avoid having to dress the rig with stuff that on hot days has a tendancy to soil clothing and leave marks on neatly maintained sailcloth. However the terminal methods typically used for stainless more or less make me cringe.

Are there any caveats to hand splicing stainless wire I don't know about?
