Advice on composite deck materials

Another installment in the landscaping project

We're trying to replace our existing deck with a new, bigger and nicer deck. About 240 square feet total, 12x16 main deck 8' above grade with a stair way and single landing in the middle.

I was looking at the Portico product that Humphreys in Tiverton sells. The complete material cost to do the footings, box in PT, and use composite for all the decking and railing system is looking like $31 sq/ft not including labor.

This seems like a heck of a lot of money.

Has anyone done anything similar to compare?

thanks,
