        Impedance is lighter than FR4 so more of it floats to the
        top <g>.

        Playing with these values on my tool I find that describing
        the last trace layer as 1 oz instead of 1/2 would get you about
        that difference.  Can't get IPC's site right now, only the
        archives are responding to me.  Hope there's not a problem w/
        the server...
