Eternit as a roofing alternative to clay tiles?

Our architect recommended clay shingles, but an acquaintance told us that we should also consider Eternit shingles because they are much cheaper than clay shingles. Concrete shingles are usually ruled out because of rather negative stories about them deteriorating after a few decades, etc.

Has anyone here had any experience with Eternit? Asbestos hasn't been used in years, so what are the pros and cons of using Eternit shingles for roofing?
