Unless there is a considerable price or availability issue, stick with the 1/4 inch. I think my 1/4 inch was 5 ply. Adding an additional "ply" here and there is one of the reasons my KR ended up weighing 760 pounds. :-( Keep it light, keep it light, keep it light......... Got a 50 mile cross country flight in the KR today. Great air and I LOVE the way my KR flies. Three kiss it on landings. :-) Larry Flesner
