Sandie,
Stealth is a double-edged sword. In an environment without V/UHF radar, yeah, it's an advantage. Head on, the RCS is impressively small. Other aspects are not so good. It doesn't make one invisible, only the Klingons can do that. The other edge is all about the compromises already mentioned.
The problem is that the compromises really come into play in those areas where the stealth isn't so good. And range and payload is compromised even where the stealth does work. And how fast can you run away?
By the time this comes into service, technology will have moved on even further. That will be the time when we can balance the advantages of stealth against the compromises necessary to make it happen.
