Experience provides valuable advice. If it isn't broken, don't fit it. \r\nWhat I am saying is, if it is a better alternative to use, because you've used it before and it works for what we need it to, because you know there will be no problems, then it is a **definite good option**. If we don't have experience with it, but theoretically it is an improvement, then it is an **indefinite good option**. In this case, I evaluated that we would most likely have less problems going with seaboard than aluminum panels. If I knew aluminum panels would be a better option, then I would go with that, but I don't know.\r\n \r\nWhat are the pros and cons of getting aluminum panels instead of seaboard? If it saves us weight, how much weight does it save? Is it worth the money to buy the aluminum? How easy is it to get it to the right shape we want? Who will make the panels? Are they skilled enough? How will the panels bend once electronics are mounted to them? Will that bending compromise function? \r\nAnd that's only the known unknowns."}}
