Steel vs Fiberglass

I have looked at a Botter designed, custom made 38'' sloop that I am considering making an offer on. Up till now, I have limited my boat searching to fiberglass boats. Maybe it was unfounded, but I felt they would be more buoyant than anything else besides a wood hull. Outside of obvious rust intrusion, what else makes these boats undesirable vs a fiberglass boat? Thinking about it, repairs should be simpler, but at what cost? Seems to me that galvanic corrosion would be a BIG problem.
