Sandstone is considered to have more aesthetic appeal by some residents. Sandstone is a natural material and concrete is manmade, so some people have preferences for one or the other. Sandstone is at least twice the price of concrete and can be very slippery when wet. Concrete tends to be safer as it has a coarser texture and gives more traction in wet, snowy or icy conditions.

External devices, by the nature of being outside the body, can not be as targeted as an implanted device. There are also external components to wear and the daily maintenance of those components. Since they are outside the body, they can be less expensive than the implanted device. Another advantage of an external device is the ease to discontinue the use of the system.

Vinyl is a popular cover material because it is durable, weather resistant and is available in the widest range of colors. Since it is a man made material, it doesn't breathe very well which means that it will trap heat against your body.
