EPDM Roof - UV resistant vs. Regular

I am going to be resealing my epdm RV roof this summer. I have done a fair amount of research on this and have decided to go with the Dicor system. My question is whether to buy the UV resistant product rather than the standard product. My roof absorbs a LOT of heat so I am looking for solutions to that problem. The UV resistant stuff is significantly higher in price.

    Buy the UV resistant. UV is what kills the rubber to begin with. Stop/slow the UV rays and you'll stop/slow the decay of your roof.

    I was already thinking this...thank you! Have any of you guys used it? Does it help reduce heat in the RV?
