I've had both types of walls over the years and I wouldn't go back to a laminated wall. There's a reason why the entry level units have laminated walls....they're cheap to produce.
Yes the manufactures will show a truck driving over a section of laminated wall to show the strength but ideally you don't have trucks driving over your walls. Funny, these same manufactures never show a truck driving over the floors...why? The floors (frames) go through more stress over years of travel. Most hung walls have better interior backing so hanging pictures or finding backing for shades or other items is much easier.
The most important part of the RV isn't the wall anyway....in my opinion it's the frame and suspensions that the walls connect to. Frames tend to flex not the walls. Usually when the manufactures are focusing your attention on the walls it's because they're diverting your attention from more important items.
