Any word on how it compares to other grades of stainless, as to it's machine-ability?
Stainless is tough to mill. The cutting tools cost like crazy, and don't last very long, either.
[yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody will come along and tell me to buy a CNC machine...ha! i wish!]

How 'bout welding the stuff? TIG? sigh...

If it could better resist undesirable oxidation, be cut or worked a little easier, AND be welded with a buzz-box stick welder, that would be a perfect trifecta.

I give up. ...stand better chances going out and buying lottery tickets...

Have you seen the price of Inconel lately? Many of the alloys are over $40. / lb.
