Stainless is less expensive. That is the main benefit. As others say, a bit of copper is good. You could just toss a copper pipe fitting in the kettle and be good.

I guess I'm happy with my old school homemade copper RIC. I wouldn't worry about silver solder. Silver is good for you, unless you're a werewolf

I my opinion, the fact that they took the time and effort to stabalize their chiller is a big plus.   the style chiller depends a bit on having the tubes spread out... but if you spread copper tubing out... it acts more like a slinkey.

i would keep it!
