Filler over epoxy

Question here. I spi epoxies my 72 Corvette. only places I have to fill on the body are small gouges from razor blade Mark's and areas where there is roughed textured fiberglass. Nothing structural needs addressed. Should I use vette panel adhesive filler 870 on these pla8or my paint guy told me to use roberlo maxilight. I'm worried about flexing or movement of the fiberglass with the maxilight. I also have a glaze gold filler as well. Again it's nothing structural. Wondering how easy the 870 sands as the fiber tech was a pain to sand smooth.
 
You got your answer from someone who has plenty of vette experience. Now as far as products like fibertech, theoretically they can be good for coating a repair area where ghosting could be a concern, BUT such products are not ever nice to sand & should always be filled over with a product that is for final finishing.
Not familiar with either other product you mentioned, but they should be just fine for final finishing, BUT when talking good , better, or best, Fiberglass moves & shrinks a lot, so it's better to go with the best, especially when it really won't cost anymore or take longer to use.
