True. Steel studs are often used for walls supporting high ceilings because they create a much flatter surface than wood studs which tend to create waves in such walls. Most of the expensive homes I saw being constructed in Palm Desert and Las Vegas used steel exclusively.
In our Villages home, we have wood studs in the 8’ walls and steel studs where we have vaulted ceilings.
