Not all butyl is created equal, that's a fact.
The backing the butyl decouples the heat to is probably the most important part of a CLD system. Neither of the products have a thick enough foil constraining layer to be really effective.
If you're paying $1 per sqft, how much you think it cost to produce? Dividing that number by 4 would probably give a good estimate.
Stretch your budget and give this stuff a shot: http://www.noxudolusa.com/noxudolstore/ccp0-catshow/SoundDamping.html
Figure two gallons will give you about 75 sqft of coverage, so take that in consideration when price comparing with other products.

Second skin anyone?
I used eDead v1^2 myself on my first install, but the next time I go to deaden I'll definitely be trying either Raamat or Second Skin.

Fatmat is okay. But when you compare it to Raammat, you can feel that the raammat weighs almost twice as much. Raammat is also rubber based. fatmat also doesn't stick nearly as well as raammat does.
So what does this mean?
1) You have to apply twice as much fatmat, meaning its going to be harder to get your door panels back on smoothly.
2) You're going to have to do twice as much work applying it.
3) Your car is going to smell like a cement truck for a few weeks.
4) You risk it peeling off in the summer. Trying to remove messed up sound deadening is a feat in itself.
So my recommendation to you? Don't make the same mistake I did. Get the raammat and use less of it.
But if you do decide to go fatmat, make sure to clean the shit out of everything you apply it to. 100 square feet MIGHT be sufficient for all of the above. 50 square feet got me my two front doors and my giant trunk lid. Also keep in mind that you're going to have to do 2-3 layers of fatmat to produce the same results as 1-2 layers of raammat.
