Default Carpet Question

After researching carpet, looks like there is really only one manufacturer? ACC...and it looks like there are three different levels of a complete carpet kit...
  • Poly Back
  • Mass Back
  • TruVette
I think I understand the Poly Back (standard carpet) and the Mass Back (has built in sound deadener) but what the heck is the TruVette, it must be really good because it is much more expensive.

Does anyone have any experience with the TruVette version of a complete carpet kit?

So here is what Eckler's says:
There are two carpet sets available for the 1995 C4:
Original Carpeting – TruVette with Mass Backing: Features the same hard rubber backing used by the factory to reduce heat and noise.
Replacement Carpeting – Poly Backing: Economical alternative to TruVette. Uses moisture resistant jute padding instead of mass backing.

But on the ACC site there are 3 choices...and they just told me that the TruVette was a shorter carpet...and the shorter carpet is a couple hundred dollars more?
