Meranti plywood is heavy. Choose okume if you want it lightweight.
Wood is good.

I have used it to cover 12"square tiles on the ceiling.Didn't find it heavy at all.Covered the seams with 1"x4" pine boards.Then I painted the whole thing white"sprayed it"Came out looking like a coffered [sp.]ceiling.As far as I am concerned,it looks great.I used liquid nails and nail gun to install it.No complaints with it at all.
