(OP)
I have been told that Grade 60 is taking over the USA. Is this true? And, what are the advantages / disadvantages of Grade 60 over Grade 40? I need several hundred thousand pounds for a current project. What are the best sources? Thanks!

The increase in strenght in grade 60 will require you to use larger laps and development lengths as compared to grade 40. But, this will by far be offset by steel weight savings due to the increased strength as BigH mentioned.

Typically rebar in the UK is 460MPa for high yield. But even that is now being replaced by 500MPa steel.
