Thanks Bill!

I see on Dyson's site - he has 8oz, 13oz, 16oz and 26 oz polyester - would there be a substantial advantage if going with a heavier fabric? If so, is there a line where the benefits diminish?

I suppose I would have the same question when it comes to the fiberglass portion as well - better to use two layers of 4 oz instead of one?

Thanks again!

Bob
