Default Balsa, SPAD, and foam- comparison?

I've built a SPAD already because they're cheap and durable but am curious about other materials. The guys at the field say that balsa is lighter and more precise- looks true by the planes they have. But what about foam? The idea of cutting out a wing in one pass looks good.

Any thoughts on the advantages/disadvantages of the various materials?
