Isn't that reason good enough? 8) ;)
I've seen them polished, someone who has done it will soon reply.

I didn't exactly polish them.  But I had them bead blasted (sand blasting would be better, you get a million tiny dings from the beads) to get whatever that brown coating is off, them worked them over with 3m paint stripping pads perpendicular to the line of the pipe.  You get a brushed finish that looks just like the stainless pipes of your cans.  Lot's of work, but worth it.

Any pics of the result? I was thinking of going the same route wrt the polishing...

Cermic coating looks great also. I did it to mine for $125.
