And, I wouldn't say it was Baltic Birch back in those days, but compared to the BB we'd (used to ) get over the past decade, it definitely made it seem like top tier ply was used back then.
Personally... I LOVE bamboo ply. The strength is ridiculous, and it doesn't have the warping and delaminating issues the old plywood tops had. But, if your using power tools and hit the bamboo with a Circ blade or drill bit, then I pray the blades/bits Journey to Valhalla is swift! Haha.
While bamboo is better than plywood in nearly every way, its a hige nightmare working with it. Ughhh... it's too hard a material. And if you don't have dull or wrong type blade when cutting it... well, a lot can happen lol. (Plus you want to wear a respirator, and have excellentdust collection as the dust is like a million microscopic needles in the air.
But as far as a work surface, it's phenomenal. So of I had a choice, I'd take an older workmate body, with the newer workmate bamboo surface.

Seriously considering picking this up. It's about the same price that used vintage workmates go for around my area, and I like the design changes to the surface top.
My current one is a 79-001 type 6, which is kind of the start of the reduction in quality, but it's lasted 40+ years, so still not that bad.

The bamboo is fine - its very hard, probably harder than birch so less damage to the vice surface when you're clamping something like a threaded metal rod. If there's a weak link on these things its the plastic parts in the clamping mechanism - they're the first things to wear out and they don't don't keep the tops from bowing up when you're clamping something that isn't flat on both sides.

The 425 appears to have poorly written assembly instructions, which seems to be the main complaint.
