MARKET NOTE
The honest performance hierarchy is material-led: porcelain/ceramic enamel fused to steel is the best default for frequent writing because it combines a hard non-porous face, ordinary-magnet strength, lower glare than glass, and a rigid board architecture. Tempered glass is superb for ghost resistance and cleaning, but direct-light glare and the need for rare-earth magnets are real ergonomic penal
