I used melamine. Probably lighter, cheaper, and comes in wider pieces.

I'm not sure where you're finding melamine with an MDF core
but you're more than likely to find particleboard being used
for the substrate.

I think that typically it is more like particle board than MDF.
I have never seen any melamine that is equivalent in density to MDF.
Maybe it exists somewhere...

Melamine is just MDF with a lightweght thermofused later on the top
and bottom. Not going to be any lighter than the same size and
thickness MDF
