Total Erase by Quartet
Quartet has an new Surface called Total Erase.  This is a new surface that is light years better than Melamine but is non-magnetic.   Its pricing is between melamine and P3 Ceramicsteel but it has great erase ability and no ghosting.   Only from Quartet   see surface comparison

for an example of an aluminum framed 4' x 6' in the three common materials at list price 01/02

P3 Ceramicsteel p/n #2547  $464.95
Total Erase - Prestige TE547A  $314.95
Melamine p/n S537  $201.95

Recommendations=> never get Melamine- 
make Total Erase your choice if available in size you need and frame style unless you need the
 magnetic ability of P3 and want the lifetime warranty with P3 and the near indestructibility 
of the ceramic over steel product.

The Total Erase erases very well but is still a plastic and can be damaged by vandalism and abuse.
Total Erase is available as a skin only for resurfacing

directly to S547 series
