Looks MUCH better!!

I would have to disagree.
ANY allen head made of stainless steel will strip the head off if it has to be tampered with constantly. FACT: Stainless is no where close to the strength of a hardened steel bolt and "most" stainless bolts are Grade 2. It is a common misconception that stainless steel is stronger than regular steel. In fact, due to the low carbon content, stainless steel cannot be hardened making it weak. Therefore when compared with regular steel it is barely stronger than an un-hardened (grade 2, which is GARBAGE) steel fastener but significantly weaker than hardened steel fasteners.
Which is why I replace every stainless allen head that has to be in constant use with grade 8 or above bolts. You can find them coated so that they dont rust, but they cost more. I cant stand stripping allen head bolts!
