Seems the responses have been short coming, and understandably.
You've asked a question that has manifold answers.

So I'll say this, Piannerman, I've got experience with both items.

And have I had results? Yes, lots of results.

And what I've learned is you have to find out for yourself ultimately 
when one will work, and when it won't. There are no pat answers 
because every set of hammers is different.

So what does one do?

Start reading the Pianotech archives about people's experiences at
https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/

Use search words like hammer softner, hammer steaming, hammer hardner.

In your search you'll find several others on this list who have 
documented their approaches, success and some failures.

Enjoy,
