Anyone mess with Stone decks

Anyone mess with this stuff

http://www.dexstone.com/

Or

http://www.rockdeck.com/cms/index.html

We are putting a display together for a home show and will show off a little bit of it. Just wondering if anyone has sold and installed any of it.
Will not be cheap, but we target higher end customers who don't mend paying for nice stuff.

I have never installed it or even seen a finished deck with either products.
I like the first one better, looks nicer and seems like it would be stronger



What does the average square foot for material cost for both?

What's your guess on what a contractor would be able to charge for labor per sqft?

We used this one http://www.stonedeckwest.com/installations.html in our display and it was not as easy as described on the website. There was no good way of starting the first row and we had to use adhesive, which was not descrubed on the web site.
I have seen photos where some builders have combinde wood or composite with stone. I think that is sort of a middle ground for people who like the look, but don't want to spend the money for an entire deck in stone.
right now, i'm guessing an entire deck, would run around $40-50 a SQ FT. but that is just a wag at this point.
