Finger Jointed Plywood VS. The Scarf Joint

Has anyone used finger jointed marine plywood. I found a site in which you can buy 3,4,6,12mm finger jointed marine plywood. It is a little more that buying the 4 x 8 sheets and doing a scarf joint, but given the free shipping and the lack of labor, it really seems like a good buy.

Your thoughts?

The aluminum is not that thick, maybe 0.5mm. So far it has been great to work with. I will post some pics of the build when I get it on the strongback again.

Here is the details.
