The cheap attacks aside, I would want FBP if I were using the rig in those states that sun bleach RV's in short order. Filon and stickers look hideous after just a few years in the Az or NM sun. I'm not impressed by FBP but there are clearly some here who are - or more accurately, they're jealous of it.
I am impressed by older rigs that are well taken care of. Better materials and maint. facilitate that.
Call it pride in ownership or what ever but don't be petty just because some want their stuff looking tip-top. Or that they can afford something nicer.
