I can't speak to Corian, but I do have a set of white Micarta I fit to a USFA Rodeo this summer. The Holly is lighter in weight and the Micarta is tougher material. The Micarta is so tough that it took HOURS to fit an oversize set to the grip frame for my Rodeo. I sanded my life away on those grips! I have another set of Micarta on a 1911 that is the paper based Micarta and they are really pretty with the layers and all. The Hogue Micarta on my revolver has no layers. The Micarta tends to get a little slick with sweaty hands and the Holly not so much. I have to say that I prefer the feel of wood on a sixgun.
