Laser cut Kapton are fine for a few boards - up to 5 or so.  You start
seeing the effects of use after six or eight and steel is clearly a
value. . I use them for most protos. 

If I'm doing anything really fine that would drive me to steel on
resolution alone, I pay someone else to do it.

Oshstencils are cheap, and they will do 4 mill Stainless Steel for 2X
Kapton cost.  Deal if I'm doing more than 5 boards.
