Default Poly-fiber kits

Does anyone know what the 411 is on these new poly-fiber kits?? For anyone that hasn't heard of them, i guess u could think of it as a cross b/w a fiber glass and a urethane kit. I've had a bomex fiberglass kit in the past and even though it was what i would consider good quality figerglass, i'd never buy another fiberglass kit again. It jus pisses me off that they take so much abuse from rock chips and what not. But anyhow back to the topic at hand. Does anyone know about the quality and duriablity of these new composition kits. Not so crazy about urethane but it's better than fiberglass. Personally i'd prefer ABS plastic kits but haven't found many complanies that offer them. Of course in a perfect world all kits would be made out of dry carbon but hey... we're far from perfect.
