Steeping vs. mashing toasted malt

[pdizz]

what differences in flavor/aroma differences could I expect from steeping toasted malt vs. doing a partial mash with a little base malt?

I plan on using 1/2 lb of toasted 2 row (350 for 15 min)

IMHO there would be a noticable freshness difference,
and your beer will should gain a bit with head and retention buy using grains

to better answer your question, a bit more of your recipe would be usefull !


thanks
