   Here's my thoughts:

   The slate is not actually the water carrier, the membrane is. The membrane is not road tested enough to warrant the price. Step right up, be a guniea pig. You can either afford a real slate roof or you can't.

   This system is an installer's dream. I like the looks of it from that aspect, but I'm scared to death of it from a "having to warrant it" point of view.

   Another option is a product from Carlise called EcoStar

   It looks very much like slate. We are using it here in Up state New York. We have a problem with slate and ice taking it off in the winters
