new frame vs. new rails

[reggaepass at aol.com]

A couple of years ago I replaced the stack (rails and action brackets assembled from Steinway, other parts from elsewhere) on a 1941 D.  The fit was impressive.  YMMV.

Does anyone who does a great deal of action restoration have an opinion of
whether to replace S&S rails vs. replacing the whole stack. S&S prices, in
the previously batted about price list, seem quite reasonable.
Specifically, if I send off the stack for 2 new rails (let off rail is fine)
and pay for that and shipping both directions am I better off than paying
for a whole new assembly from S&S plus one way shipping? Any pros or cons I
should be aware of? Accuracy from either camp?
