Default B&Q trampoline - any good?

B&Q are doing a 12' trampoline for £65 quid.

The box says:
Galvanized steel frame with stainless steel springs
Foam safety pads and polypropylene jumping mat
Max weight 90kg

There are 72 springs which are about 1" diameter by about 9" long. The
springs attack to the mat material by metal triangular rings. The
perimeter of the mat seems to have about 10 concentric rows of stitching.
The padding seems quite thin (maybe 20mm?) but very firm.


I've been looking at
http://www.trampolinesales.co.uk/buy...line-guide.htm for
guidance

I think more expensive tramps have thicker springs, so I assume this one
won't have as much bounce which I guess will be more noticeable for
heavier users. Question is: is it a complete load of tat or a worthwhile
starter trampoline (particularly given that something like a Bazoongi
12ft Popular Trampoline is over twice the price)?

On particular question I have is about the stainless-steel springs. All
other tramps seem to have galvanised steel. Will stainless stay springy?
