Where can one find quarter ounce copper clad FR4 cores and foil that
don't jack up the board price phenomenally?  If we lower the copper
weight (with designer/customer's permission)  to acheive the proper
etching and target feature spacings (and impedance), it helps to
manufacture.  However, materials with these copper weights appear to be
so expensive that it boosts the board price too much to make it.
