I was just going to say you can try making a 4 layer PCB using 
two 0.8mm double sided panels and laying a piece of glass cloth 
between the them. But now I've starting writing this email I 
realized the added difficulty in having to etch the inner layers 
separate from the outer layers. Your "three ply" technique (0.3mm 
+ 0.5mm + 0.3mm) still looks like the best way.

Did you have trouble finding a supplier for single sided 0.3mm 
and double sided 0.5mm board material ?  I assume these are of 
18um copper foil.
