Material: Fiberglass question

I'm working up a materials list for my next S&G. Is anyone familiar with a product in the Raka catalog called "3.25 oz. 8 harness satin glass"? It is described as being harder to wet out but very smooth and strong. It sounds like just the thing for the outside of the hull, but is it worth the extra effort? If you have used this cloth, please let me know what you think of it.
