K-Render (Krend) cost versus sand & cement?

    Just about to start pulling in some quotes for the exterior plaster & internal skim of an new house. For the exterior I'm fine with the traditional sand & cement approach, but as ever, it's worth at least looking at the alternatives. I've seen good reports about the coloured K-Render. However, I'm curious to know if anyone has done a cost comparison for the various rendering options (sand&cement, white sand&cement, K-render or similar). I understand that the coloured options will provide savings in the area of future maintenance... However for now I'm most interested in the costs comparison based on material & labour.

    K-rend if done properly is the way to go,expect to pay around 23-25 per metre labour only 33 all in .Internal finish about 23 euro per 8x4 slab and skim labour only knauf do a skim coat fp90 i think which is less expensive and provides a good finish.
