Auraco is lighter but you give up a lot of durability too, even if it didn't warp like crazy. Colorado is pretty dry as humidity goes and it's still a problem. 43% is average to high here. Currently 50% after a week of rain.

Anyway, with a heavy coat of duratex, rocks and other things easily leave gouges that dig through the top layer. I'll second the degrading quality in voids. My first series of cabs were all relatively void free though still not perfect. My jacks had quite a few voids to fill in edges.

No kidding... then when you cut it, it's twice as bad.
I love working with BB, I just hate the fact that I can't haul it in the back of the truck... have to take the trailer. (no 4x8 around here, all 5x5)
Hmmm, the 5x5 sheets fit (just barely width wise) into my dodge's box
