Remember here, vinyl is a man made material, where real wood, veneer, is a natural material. Because the man made material is manufactured under controled conditions, you know what you are going to get everytime. Real wood adds a small element of suprise. There are a whole host of varibles with veneer that you don't have with vinyl. Some people like some of the inconsistancies of the veneer, gives more of a natural look, and others, like myself, would rather have the perfect every time looking vinyl.

I think it's awsome Axiom lets you make the choice (if you can afford it).
