Choosing a spine lining for a heavy photo book was tougher than I expected

I was binding a 400 page wedding album and got stuck on the spine lining. The choice was between a stiff buckram or a more flexible book cloth. I went with the buckram because I was worried about sagging over time. It worked great for structure, but the book doesn't open as flat as I'd like now. Has anyone found a good middle ground for a thick, heavy book?

Ugh, the classic durability vs. function trade-off.
