Question LT tonneau cover

Have anybody on the board used the LT Tonneau Cover on a new 04 F150? I went to this web site http://www.ltsportcover.com
and found this lite nice cover which is supposed to have this specs:

Painted to match your F150 truck
High Tech Construction- Uses space-age adhesives and strengthening materials
Laser Cut from high strength .063" 5052 H32 aluminum utilizing laser technology for a perfect fit every time.
Light Weight - Only 54 lbs. for SuperCrew and 68 lbs. for the Ext. Cab
STRONGEST Hard Tonneau Cover in the industry - Mechanical specs. of the structure show greater strength than either fiberglass or steel

Any experiences?

It's more expensive and I don't know if the $200 difference is worthed been this in aluminum and removable. How do you like your ARE. I stopped by the dealer to see it, but he wasn't able to open the lid (because the truck was parked in an uneven surface, he said and it was cold) Have you had any trouble with this fiberglass tonneau cover? Is it removable in case you need to use your full bed space?

I havn't had any problem with my cover. It is removable but weighs more than the cover you were looking at (I think its a little over 100lbs). Removal is simply a matter of loosening 4 clamps that hold it on but it takes two people to lift it off (mainly so you don't scrap the paint on your truck with a large bulky item like this). Based on the pictures of the cover you were looking at the ARE cover opens in a similar manner. I added an option they had to have the cover auto lock or unlock whenever I lock or unlock my doors.
