In all reality what ever it is you set your mind on. I'll be honest, I had not even considered cutting the thin plastic layer out, and am sort of embarrassed that did not enter my mind.. I will try it and see what happens... Because of the thin plastic membrane between wax sheets it cant be re waxed and re used like rite cell.
I think the plastic rite cell is about the sturdiest stuff I have. The all plastic frames don't impress me much.. trying to pry them out, or to the side they flex a lot and make the job harder. Wax is a bit of a pain to assemble and wire but the bees really like it... Of course there is foundation-less, but we will leave that for another day.
Use the duragilt and then tell us all what you think of it. Just because of the non re useable issues I would go with any of the plastic pre formed/pre waxed stuff. At the very least if it gets boogered up you can scrape it and re wax it for less money lost.
To be candid... I recommend starting with plastic. If your comfortable with the results, keep using it. Pick up some frames and wax foundation to rotate in and see how you like that later on. Circumstance will eventually have you dropping in a frame with no foundation because its all you have, thats when you can decide if you like foundation-less or not. But if anyone asks, tell them I said to go foundation-less. Deal?
