Polyurethane Spray Foam roofing for flat roofs on CRE - HELP!

I'm interested in having a polyurethane spray foam roof installed at one of my buildings.  I'm curious if anyone owns a building with a spray foam roof right now or has any experience with the product.  I'm really curious about the longevity of the product, repairs, and continued maintenance.  I would assume it should be coated with an elastomeric coating every 5-7 years to extend the life of the foam.  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

1. The system is manufactured off site at the factory, eliminating 90% of field seams

2. It's a white roof, which can lower utility costs

3. It's resistant to grease / oil, unlike rubber membranes

4. Reinforced with fiberglass

5. 15-25 year warranty

6. Very cost effective

7. Can be installed over other roofing systems without the need for a full tear off
