[SI-LIST] 6-layer vs 7-layer PCB Stackup

Hi All,

I'm working on a backplane design and come up with the following 7-layer PCB 
stackup:

1) Signal (Single Ended Signals)
2) +5V
3) GND
4) Signal (Diffential Signals, high speed)
5) GND
6) +12V
7) Signal (Single Ended Signals and +3.3V trace)

I don't really need two GND planes, but the reason I added the second GND 
plane (layer 5) was because of symmetry and balancing PCB stackup.  How does 
this stackup compare to the 6-layer stackup (without the second GND layer on 
layer 5)?

Your comments/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
