It will fill the cavity better, will help prevent air infiltration and won't settle over time like conventional blown in insulation will. It's definitely a better option if you can handle the additional cost.

Foam will perform better over time but it will be more expensive by order of magnitude depending on where you get it priced from. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
