what is the expansion difference on a 20' length? How does the two compare with corrosion say a few miles inland of NC coast. Will one last longer than the other, same with colored finishes? Thanks for the info, I'm in a learning curve since metal roofs are extremely rare and expensive in Northern California. Moving to East coast in next few years (Jacksonville, NC)
