AISI-304 vs AISI-201 for cookware

++++

We currently use AISI-304 (18-10) stainless steel for many cookware products. As costs rise, we are considering AISI-201 as a cost effective alternative. Any comparative information or advice based on similar manufacturing experience would is appreciated. Coatings are generally not an issue as the products are polished, brushed or blasted.
