Default Difference between felpro permadry and permadry plus?

Valve cover gasket for a 98 4.0. Is there a difference? I just bought the permadry. Part # VS50458R. I then saw the permadry plus and was wondering what the difference is.

PermaDry is rubber coated steel, PermaDry Plus is silicone coated steel.

Ah, thank you! I figure either would be better than cork but is the silicon worth getting over the rubber?

In theory silicone should last longer, but unless you actually test the "reusability" aspect of the PermaDry either should hold up just fine, both are far superior to cork.
