Stainless steel (it's just a sheath over the usual plastic) is for sandy soil, and for architects who specify stuff that isn't really needed. Prefer the I-20 over the Super700, and don't forget the humble PGP.

I would go with the I-20 or PGP. Stainless steel is really not necessary, unless you are just going for the looks.

and also how come the PGP throws water up to 52ft and the I-20 47ft. I do like the I-20 better though than the PGP.

What are the pros and cons of the I-20 stainless?

PGP's are the original series, and have the widest range of nozzles, both smaller and larger (in flow) than the I-20 - The major con of the I-20 stainless is the cost.

stainless also is suppsost to add more reliability and protect the outside from wear and tear as fast as plastic. Suppost to be more reliable.

I wonder what would happen if you hit one of them with the lawn mower...
