Hi, Sharon.
I don't use polyester myself (no dog in this hunt, either) but I'm intensely curious to know how it works out for you.
It's odd, these days, with all of the new materials available in manufacturing, that so many artists stick with the old stuff. I mean, top quality synthetic brushes are a good example. They have good ability to make a chisel edge, they hold a goodly amount of paint, they have nice springiness, and they clean up easily. But we artists continue to use hog bristle--I mean, hey, they used 'em 150 years ago didn't they, and they made good paintings.
Nothing wrong with trying new things, but imo there's it's silly to dismiss them out of hand without experience.
