Marble vs Wood



Decisions-Decisions...

I am looking for a pastry board and can't decide which one i want. I like Williams-Sonoma but I love shopping at Sur la Table.

Unfortunately I can't have both >_<
Let the debate begin-

Sur La Table Marble Pastry Board

Pros: 
-cool surface for the dough (great for Houston's heat)
-$60 cheaper than Williams-Sonoma

Cons:
-Heavy
-can break/crack easily 
-need nonslip mat or towel underneath board to prevent from sliding


Williams-Sonoma Reversible Wooden Pastry Board

Pros:
-measurement guide on board
-Reversible 
-multi use as cutting board 
-wraps over island & stays in place 

Cons:
-too big to store away
-$60 more than Sur la table marble
-apply mineral oil to keep it from drying 
-must be store away from extreme temperatures. 


Hmmmmmm....
