Like Pat said, if it is boards I would take it all day long.  I often take the 3/4" boards and rip them in half before I back them with boo just so I can make one more bow.  ;D  Justin

It would be interesting to know what the thickness ratio of early to late growth is in the rings.  Could make a diff in how you use it.  Optimal is a thin layer of lighter colored tissue and a much thicker layer of dark colored tissue.
