The labour is the same but the material is 4x the cost of regular drywall and if you use the manufacturers caulking and Acoustical Putty pads it gets even dumber. As someone who works for a company that supplies/installs drywall I would never recommend it unless the client don't care about the price, I always try and get it value engineered out of projects and saving them the cost. It's way over priced for the extra STC value it offers, mind you we deal only with steel studs maybe it's better it on wood?
