You may or may not want to consider the MDF crown. I tried it on
several projects and liked it a lot - easy to cope too. The price
cannot be beat (got mine at HD also).

The final paint is really smooth also.


I'll have a look. I looked at MDF baseboards, and decided they'd be hard
to patch if they got nicked. But can't imagine nicking crown molding
unless
I have a wild party or something....

MDF makes great molding material but I would also advise against using it at
the floor level. If you have a spill and do not get it up quickly enough
the molding will swell.
