Dunno but I noticed when actually practicing last night there's a thorn in my third finger fretting tip. About to get out the needle & extract it.

It makes sense that bigger fingers make you play better. This could be achieved using a pen*s enlarger.
I am sure plenty of you have these devices although I would not want to borrow one and insert my finger unless I was wearing a thick rubber glove.
According to the 10 emails that I get every day, the enlargers actually work. The emails are from my wife (thanks Jimmy Carr).

Back to the OP...stainless steel fingers will be brighter.
