Agreed.

I used 3/8 ply on my first layout and noticed sagging in some spots even with 2x3 dimensional lumber framework I had built up underneath it. This time I used 3/4 ply on top of my frame work. I also rebuilt one section of the frame work with 3/4 plywood ripped into 3" widths. I only wished I had used 3/4 plywood throughout the framework the first time around. Ah...live an learn.
