Default Paragon SC series question

Hello everyone,
I'm on the fence about getting a Paragon SC3. The SC series have the elements embedded in a fiber refractory casting. I have never had a fiber kiln before, but these SC series kilns look really great (on my computer screen anyway). I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences, (positive or negative) about the SC series, or smaller cast fiber kilns in general.

Here is a link to the SC-2, scroll down the page to see the embedded elements glowing through the fiber casting.

I'm also curious if anyone feels that the skin temperatures are hotter on fiber kilns... I've noticed paragon's fiber kilns have a "second skin" to reduce skin temperature, which the refractory brick models lack. Is this an effort to circumvent a more rapid heat transmission found in fiber models?

I appreciate any and all input on the matter! Thanks very much!
