I look at what I consider the top 4 DRV, New Horizon, Excel and Spacecraft and they use both types hung and laminated. All of these are low production units that I feel pay more attention to detail. My opinion.
I just saw a 2005 NH on the web for sale that had the worst case of delamination that I have ever seen. I just googled "delamination in Mobile Suites" and came up with a 2010 with a delam issue. (You should always google and check owners forums for "issues" including delamination.) If the laminate fails, it doesn't matter how much you pay for the unit in the beginning. Anything laminated can fail. You have something glued together, what do we know about things that are glued together? It gets bumped all around........ Luck of the draw or so it seems! We have rethought our choice after seeing how prevalent delamination is. I think the earlier units may have been better but everyone is always looking for a way to cut costs. It can be other than leaks that start the process, it can be a failure of the materials or in the manufacturing (laminating) process.
