I checked out the Dacron from the source you suggested - woooooagh!! The price was DOUBLE that of Rockwool - and even the rockwool is expensive!

After our chat Rob and I considered it carefully - with discomfort issues etc and the price just doesn't justify it.
I let the supplier know about the price difference so they came back with the old argument that Dacron is most suitable and designed specifically for the job - no discounts mentioned etc. :evil:
Sounded like Ford versus Holden - or PC vs Mac, Catholic vs CofE for that matter....same thing to me... :wink:

Oh well we tried....I appreciate your help John. 8)

The Acoustisorb 2 50mm sqm price is $15.02 incl GST and the 75mm sqm price is $24.20 (apparently this not actually dacron but polyester)

Rockwool is approx $9 nett per sq/m
