Pros to Stienway

You can assure customer that they are "genuiune Stienay Parts". Some like
that. 
You can order them with teh hammers attached to the shanks. Saves you a lot of
time. 

Con to Steinway:  

Some think Renner hammers are better than Steinway. If you've had experience
with either or both, make your own decision. Personally I like the Steinway
hammers, because of the above, but Renners do sound nice, and voice up much
easier. Renner shanks are very good. Very little traveling.

JUst my 2 cents worth
