Whilst Fender CS instruments may be luxurious, they are still only replicas, possessing no vintage value.
If you NEED stainless steel fret wire to earn your crust, have it done.
Personally I'm not sure it is a + or - issue both tone, playability and value
This, personally I wouldn't touch a guitar with stainless steel frets, I don't like the way they feal, nor sound, others love them, and some don't care either way.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Purists and Custom Shop guitars?
They’re modern made, 9.5 inch radius guitars sold with a relic. What purists are these to moan about the frets?
The key thing there is getting hands on and not buying blind.
If you are buying with selling on in mind, you are doing it wrong in my opinion.
Oddly GAS seems to be at it's worst when I am at my most inactive music wise and I think I'm not the only one.

Now I'll never need to refret it and I love playing it, funny that
My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
In answer to the OPs question, I’d have it refretted with stainless, but if I was thinking of moving it on in a few years time I would put pennies in a jar to so I could have it refinished tobacco sunburst because that is probably the only thing a future buyer would care about!!
I bought my nos strat because I liked it even with non vintage options. I stuck a callaham bridge on it because the trem is better. Buy a guitar to play it not sell it unless you are a dealer in that case say it's not original suck your teeth lowball offer before you sell it as rare at an inflated price.
