Choosing between the options is really a choice of board, and the two are not equivalent. Red ash burl at 12mm is a figured veneer face, decorative and light, a playing surface rather than furniture, while the sheesham board is 20mm and 5,600g with the substance you can feel when you lift it, and none of the swirl.
