DOORS - composite versus UPVC

Hi
Im in middle of obtaining quotes to upgrade my double glazing and will be including 2 replacement doors. One of the doors is a south facing elevation and gets a lot of sun. 2 of the companies have recommeded composite doors stating that they are less susceptible to warping, discolouration and cracking than upvc. The door will be half glazed anyway.
Does anyone have any views on this? The difference in price is approx £300 min depending on style of door and Im not convinced that spending this much extra is warranted.
with thanks

We have a white PVCu door on a south facing elevation.
As you would expect PVC does expand and contract quite a lot in heat/cold so in the summer it sometimes sticks or is stiff.
The easy fix is to throw a bucket of cold water over it (honestly!).
Hope this helps....0
