Arch big difference between the coatings. Jethot and HPC are used primarily
for corrosion prootection and look liek chrome. Swain is indeed on the
leading edge from what I have found out and they have a true ceramic coating
inside and out that drastically cuts down on heat transfer. Look at their
web page. Very interesting.
