Has anyone used s-glass?

After building my hefty S&G "icebreaker", I'll be paying a little more attention to weight on my next boat (Outer Island). One way I might do this would be to use lighter-but-stronger glass. Has anyone had experience using s-glass? Does it wet out as easily and with the same clarity as the same weight/weave e-glass? Is the draping any different than e-glass? Thanks for any comments,

Ross
