[RC] Question re insulated metal roofs on barns - Dyane Smith

I need advice.  I am planning to build a small pole barn with a metal roof.  The builder says he puts a blanket of insulation with a vinyl backing laid horse-side down under the metal.
 
Has anyone ever used that kind of roof?  Could you tell me the pro's and con's?
 
We have hot summers here and snow in winter.  So I would be interested in heat build up; whether the snow might bury me by surprise while I'm out feeding; and condensation.  Most of the barn will be open, run-in shed style, with one closed stall and a tack room.
 
TIA,
 
Dyane
