practical in what way?

Stainless steel will not break, can withstand heat better, easier to maintain etc lor....

Glass is brittle w/ glossy surface, whereas stainless steel is hard w/ matt(got chrome 1s also)

The choice is urs.. ^^

does iridium stainless steel play a big part in the stainless steel world?

Oh, u got me!!!

Wad is 'iridium stainless steel'???

I m using tempered glass as backsplash and it is very thick glass which can withstand heat and does not crack.

There are many forummers using tempered glass as backsplash. Easier to clean and the glossy look adds very classy touch to the overall look.

for yr purposes you could use a glass-tempered stovetop with 2 or more burners mounted onto the glass top, and for the splashback you could use tempered glass.
