MDO and HDO consist of a core material, like laminated fir veneer, overlaid with a pressed fiber material. In short, this is a typical veneer core plywood (common plywood) with an MDF surface. This gives the best of both worlds; the weight is lower than a full MDF, but the surface is more stable than a veneer core plywood.

Check out this link for a better explanation of MDO.  MDO isn't plywood with an MDF layer.  MDF is not exterior grade or even remotely weatherproof.

that's probably only 3/4 thick...thin plys...you can get 3/4 " ply from 7 to 13+ layers..:-) more plys is better, but more expensive.
of course i'm blitzed, so take anything I say on a friday with a grain of salt.. (i'm guessing i'm still sober enough to recognize high quality ply in a pic tho':-)
