Hi, never gone to the extreme of SS although it was discussed at one time as I'm heavy on frets.
Y oldest Collings has EVO frets. It was the second refret since 1999. and over the past few years no sign of wear .... BUT ... it changed the tone of the guitar noticeably.
Collings , being more balanced than equivalent Martins are often perceived as more trebly, but with the EVOs, this one is certainly noticeably "sharp" tonally.
If you are not particularly heavy on frets have a good complete refret with nickel silver frets and don't knock them out.
FWIW - I'd not have Evos again.
