In my opinion, bumpers are a waste of Baltic birch plywood. Utilitarian items don't need furniture grade material when sheathing does just fine.
Yes, Baltic birch is a waste for bumpers. I have not seen or used plywood that is sanded on both sides that does not have the same number of plys as the rough stuff. My preference is to use the plywood that is sanded on both sides AND had more layers than the un-sanded plywood. It looks like one of us is comparing apples to oranges and the other is comparing pears to oranges.
