We've owned (3) new Newmars, a '00 Dutchstar gasser, a '03 Kountry Star diesel, and our current one, an '08 Kountry Star diesel. All 3 have had the Brute Tek roof, if we were buying new today and we had a choice between BriteTek and fiberglass I'd probably pick BriteTek again.

As far as pros and cons, the pros are it is virtually maintenance free, it's tough, it's quiet, it has a long track record of excellent service.
As far as cons, there are none. If I had to come up with one I'd say it too often gets lumped in with rubber by those who aren't educated on it.
