Anyone have experience with composite decking?

I probably could have gotten by with replacing a dozen boards and been through the hassle of sanding, treating, staining, etc, but I didn't want that headache every year. The deck is 20 years old-time to install something that will be virtually hands free.

This is what I ended up going with:

I got it for $2/foot (pretty much half the going rate), so to me, it'll be well worth the up-front cost given the maintenance needed on the deck over the next 10 years.
