Is it even worth it to Cold Blue an entire handgun that may see quite a bit of carry duty?

I have it done in AlumahydeII Coyote and will refinish it again once the front and rear sights are installed.  I have read mixed reviews on the durability of the Cold bluing verses the Hot Bluing.

In my opinion, cold blue is of only very limited use when wanting to touch up a spot.  For any thing more than that, it is basically worthless.

Durability and corrosion resistance can be slightly improved by waxing after the cold blue.  This doesn't help a great deal, but it doesn't cost very much either.
