Are there any significant differences/concerns in fabrication, assembly, or 
long term reliability when comparing CEM-3 to FR-4 for double sided PTH 
boards?  Is it compatible with carbon direct metallization?  In what 
product applications is CEM-3 typically used for double sided PTH boards?  
 From what I've been able to gather, it is used quite a bit in Asia but not 
in North America.  Why (availability, end product application/reliability 
reqiuirements, no significant cost advantage...)?
