after market teak decking

hi, i have a 4 y/o 7.5m cobra and was thinking of fitting fake teak decking, i understand there are a few choices on the market, does anyone have any thoughts on which to choose? i saw some at ribex this last week-end, but im not sure which company it was, does anyone know? also, roughly how much does it cost & are there any disadvantages in fitting it? Thanks for your help, Ollie...

This is the one I know
http://www.flexiteek.com/

Advantage- looks good and can be cleaned once a year with a high pressure hose, does not lose colour and good grip

Costs about £2000 I think for 7-8 m RIB, prices shown on their web pages

Treadmaster have recently introduced a 'teak effect' product http://www.treadmaster.co.uk/teak.html

It's not quite as realistic looking as Flexiteek or Tek-Dek, and they don't claim it be so, but it is a lot less expensive.
