absolutely right. the boards are expensive.
the two thinner ones I got were more reasonable , and much easier to move around.
the thinner ones seem to come in only one ' blend ' , much easier to sort out that way !
and I think for my use , and general home use , will be very pleasant to use.
Id also consider that thiner version in a larger version , as sort of a base
but the widths cap-out if you sill , and other sizes are just longer.
restaurant ? those , not so much.
I do not plan to use a dishwasher , and have that scraper just in case
