Rock Doors

Hi, 
I am looking for a new front door to be fitted, and came across this type of door. Just wondering what others think of them as a door, and how much, approximately, you would pay for fitting and the door itself. 
Thanks Paul

    Rockdoor is just a Brand of composite door, these start up companies are charging over a grand for something worth £200 quid they did this with mattresses by giving them a name like Emma or Simba, i have a solid wooden door which cost £280, if i call it Ken it might be worth £1500 lol.
    Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

    Thanks, it is not about price, I like the rock doors, but just wanted peoples opinions as to the quality of their doors, and if they thought it was worth it, given the price. Also I was looking to find out what others had paid, fitted, so that I can see if the price i would be quoted is in the realms of normal pricing for these doors. 
    Also thanks, as I can see from the prices on this website, that they are close in price to the price i was quoted, when looking like for like the door i have seen and liked
