Chuck,
Longevity? If you're talking about UV resistance, probably less than Unisub white alum., which has UV inhibitors in the coating.
The UV inhibitors in Unisub alum., give a slight "yellow" cast to the "white" metal. On its own, the finish looks white. Side-by-side, to Dyna Sub, it's definitely off white.
For indoor use, i.e. award plaques, signage, unless exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time, fading isn't a major issue, even without built-in UV resistance.

David,
you said "The material passed my personal benchmark of being white enough"
but did you give it the REAL TEST?
the old key demonstration.............

John,
Actually, Unisub would hold up better to the "Toothy, safe deposit box key", though, fortunately, indoord awards and signage rarely see that stringent a test :-)

John,
I don't know what the eventual pricing will be. I don't have the flyer around, but the pricing was an "introductory" offer.
I haven't ordered sheets of the material yet. I'm still using up some white alum. I bought from Rallye Productions, which compares very favorably to Dyna Sub.
