Mitch,
I used to work for a company that had insisted that the total
copper area per layer be symmetrical within +/-10 percent
vertically within the stack-up.
e.g. Total copper area on layer 1 (top minus 1) would
have to be within 10 percent of layer 7 (bottom plus 1)
Their manufacturing group believed that boards would be less
likely to warp when heated in the IR oven, if the entire PCB
had a uniform distribution of copper in both the x-y and z axis.
Even distribution of copper on all layers also helps the PCB
manufacturers, weather they ask for it or not.

Hi Mark,
Dumb question... Why not just copper pour (GND plane) the top/bottom
layers, to have the same result? Be a lot quicker to me. Am I missing
something?
Good day.
