I just priced some UHM fabric per Macca's laminate schedule and it comes out to $700 to do 2x boards!! I would have to find some IM or HM at half that price to make it worthwhile.
For the phantom boards we use some very special UHM uni's and I think the material cost is close to $700 per board.... But we do have the stiffest foils by a big margin.
Strength wise you will be achieving the same with standard modulus stuff, but it will just be more bendy.
