Ipe takes alot more time to work with and is tough on tools. It is hard, clear of knot and can utilize the clip fastening system so no hardware is visible.
I put down about 2000 sf of Ipe on the decks of my Vermont house using hidden fasteners three years ago... deck looks great...

Was a bit time consuming since the hidden fasteners I used were like biscuits.. so there was the extra step of using the biscuit cutter on each plank. I really do like the no fastener look...
