I'm about to buy a Green Mountain bull barrel for my 10/22 and I have the option of getting it in stainless steel with or without fluting. Without costs $100, with costs $150. I like the looks of the fluting, but will it really make a difference one way or the other on the functionality of the barrel.

Will the fluting actually help to cool a 10/22 barrel quicker?

Will the fluting actually make the barrel less stiff such that it is less accurate than a non-fluted barrel?

Will I actually notice the difference in weight between the barrels?

Thanks in advance for the help.
