I'll provide an alternate viewpoint.

Lighting can sometimes make things look worse than they are. You can have Nikasil coated cylinders that don't look so good to the eye, but in reality they aren't that bad.

But I learned the hard way once already that you need to get your cylinders replated to get a good ring seal.
