1.) Does anyone have experience with this product. It is new from CertainTeed, and has the look and feel of Hardie plank(cement) siding, but is lighter weight. I hate to be a guinea pig (at least the first one), but its lighter weight seems that it would be easier to install, avoid some cracking, etc problems that I have heard from my supplier.
2,) Any idea of the price compared to Hardie plank? I have a feeling the distributor is pushing us toward Hardie.

Know that CertainTeed had problems with its first generation composite, but I understand that live and learn is pretty common in vendor histories.

Thanks!
