Default Why stainless steel prop?

I've been boating a long time, but only just started thinking about stainless steel props. My question is what is the advantage? My understanding is that if you hit something with a SS prop, it has the potential to do internal damage to the lower unit (and I know people that hit rocks at slow speed thinking there was no damage, only to realize later that they caused serious damage), while a non SS prop will tend to bend or break. I know the obvious solution - don't hit anything! - but am curious as to advantages...
