Is there a difference in durability of the finish between S&W 625 and S&W 625JM?

Just curious if the "matte bead blast" finish on the JM version is more prone to scratch or wear in any way that makes the 625 stainless finish more durable by comparison. Anyone? Thanks!

No, but the minor dings show up more on the bead blasted finish.
