Rodney, that's the real differentiator in my opinion. If you do not want to seal or paint your model after covering, use Coverite. I use it on sport models where I'd like a fabric-like finish. I use Solartex on my scale models that have fabric covered rubber, elevators and ailerons.
For the best finish on a fully fabric covered scale model, I use Sig Koverall and dope.
To each his own.
