Saturn Atmospheric Probe

One of the problems with the planet Saturn is that its ring system, and its moon Titan distracts from the planet itself. What do you think of the idea of exploring the planet Saturn itself, perhaps through a nuclear reactor heated balloon, so it could circulate around in the atmosphere for a while rather than plummet by parachute to the planet's core. It would be nice to have more time at various atmospheric levels, than have a one shot parachute probe as was dropped on Jupiter.
