What do you all think about the use of Laminated woods in bows....

for this year Martin has decided to use Laminated Birch instead of real hardwoods on most all of their models....Hope they go back to real wood soon... them using real wood was one of the big things that separated them from Bear. i'd rather them raise there prices and keep real hardwoods than use the Laminates. not that laminates are bad...it just lacks real charactor.
